Saya

It seems hard to believe that Saya arrived in Porto not so long ago. In just over a year, her name has become well known in the city that already feels very much her own, where she has found a stage, visibility and an audience for her work. Her practice has revealed a multi-potential artistic force, as she proudly calls herself, and as we are happy to confirm. It unfolds in a number of different activities that have proven to be vital for a city and a culture that aspire to be open, progressive and equitable. And being one of those people for whom any place is too small, no matter where they are, Saya has been touring Portugal from north to south, hosting and presenting various international radio programmes, incorporating kuduro, experimental Arabic electronics, gqom, baile funk, rave funk, hard drums, etc., into her sets that are ever more… multi-potential. Daughter of Palestinian migrants, born in Santiago de Compostela in Galicia, Saya is also a passionate social activist who celebrates differences in a context that brings us together through music.
