Reem Kelani

Palestinian singer, musicologist and broadcaster, Reem Kelani, whose voice is described as combining 'the poignancy of Billie Holiday with the glass-busting power of Aretha Franklin' (The Independent), will perform with her band at the iconic St George's Hall. Audiences will experience Kelani's stunning vocal ability and an illuminating, often moving account of 200 years of the struggle for human rights. Kelani's reputation as an artist for whom her independence is an article of faith, musically, spiritually and politically, extends across the Arab and the non Arab worlds.
