Felukah is an Egyptian rapper, singer, poet, and activist who effortlessly blends her Arabic heritage with Western sounds. Dubbed the ‘Arabfuturist songstress,’ she’s leading a new wave of Arab women in music. Her revolutionary spirit has caught the attention of audiences across the Middle East and the West, landing her opportunities with Boiler Room TV, Harvard University, and the Brooklyn Museum, among others. True to her versatile nature, Felukah moves between genres and projects with ease, all while keeping her roots in radical love and her North African heritage. This tour is all about pushing boundaries, connecting people, and creating unforgettable memories.

Leila Naas aka Leila Moon completed her design studies in Lucerne in 2017 and then started making music. Naas was born in the SVP village of Frick, experienced racism, not least from authority figures, but never remained silent and never put up with Islamophobic statements. Leila Moon is a lifelong Sailor Moon fan and fights for love and justice. She finds elitist art ‘the most boring shit ever’. She is a resident DJ at Radio Alhara and combines genres such as bass, D&B, breaks, Mahraganat, disco, funk, Raï, R ‘n’ B and more in her sets.

Enki D. Snake, born Salwan Al-Zobeidy, is an artist, activist, and social worker of Afro-Iraqi descent, with roots in both the Arab community of Iraq and the Zanj people of East Africa. He spent his early years in the Ain el-Helweh Palestinian refugee camp in Lebanon before seeking asylum in Switzerland with his family. Enki’s work is shaped by his rich heritage and experiences as a refugee, focusing on mental decolonization, intersectionality, transformative justice, and empowerment. His activism and art are centered on uplifting marginalized voices and addressing systemic oppression.
