Jumoké Fashola presents concert highlights from Egyptian-Belgian singer Natacha Atlas, recorded live at Tampere Jazz Happening. Natacha blends Western and Arabic vocal traditions with jazz motifs, offering a unique sound born of her heritage. She began her career in the 90s as a vocalist with Transglobal Underground, before exploring other genres including jazz, playing with the likes of Nitin Sawhney and Omar Sosa.
