Dear Friends,

It is with the greatest joy that I announce to you the arrival of my debut album 'View From Somewhere'! Following the wonderful album launch at the Forge at the end of March which you helped to make possible - 'View From Somewhere' is now available for purchase through my website (www.amirakheir.com) as well as at Brill/Clerkenwell Music (27 Exmouth Market, EC1R 4QD, London).

It will soon be officially released & available for digital download on itunes, amazon etc. and I will keep you posted as to when that happens.

I would also like to remind you of my upcoming performance alongside my Quartet this Sunday 15th of May at the Green Note (106 Parkway NW1 7AN, London). This will be an intimate evening with a warm line up of oud, double bass, flute and percussions. For more info & tickets:

As always thank you so much for your support - it is the most indispensable part of the equation! I hope you will continue to come to our gigs and help to spread the word to your friends & family.

ABOUT AMIRA KHEIR

Sudanese-Italian singer/songwriter Amira Kheir is creating a sound that is inspired by traditional Sudanese singing and instrumentation, and blended with elements of Jazz, Soul, East and West African as well as Middle Eastern music. The result is a unique amalgamation of arrangements that give tasters of Sudan’s rich musical and cultural heritage whilst being reflective of our ever-merging world.

Originally from Sudan but having lived in Italy for many years and now residing in London, Amira draws from her own multicultural background to create music that explores themes of home, belonging and transcendental spirituality. Her music is evocative of Northern Sudan’s desert landscape and celebrative of its ancient culture and multitude realities, but rooted in a compelling call to come together irrespectively of our backgrounds to share our single human journey.
