صحاري بدو زرقاء وصباح أصفر

في ذرى الأطواد

صمتٌ شاملٌ

وسكونٌ غشِيَ الكون الفسيح

خيمَ الصمت على الغاب،

فلا صوت طيرٍ فيه أو نسمة ريح

كل شيءٍ

مستريحٌ هادئٌ

وقريباً

أنت أيضاً.. تستريح

― غوته

هل كان عليك أن تتعلَّم كلّ الكلمات
لتقول فقط
وداعاً أيها الأصدقاء؟
أرجوك، لا تبتسم
فخلفَ هذه الوردة
أشم رائحةَ موتْ.

Fayrouz Karawya is an Egyptian singer-songwriter and record producer. She has been a prominent singer in the indie music scene in Egypt for almost 15 years, with a discography including 6 studio albums and around 140 single tracks.
Her vision emanates from pushing the boundaries of lyrical content and musical composition, reaching out for a formula bursting with life, diversity and unconventional fusions of music worlds. Genre bending formulas characterized her musical project since she started leading her music career in 2006.
In her official album records and single song tracks, she delved into a myriad of music landscapes including jazz, oriental, African, and electronic and folk. Karawya’songs address love conflicts, try to give a multi-dimensional picture of vibrant relationships, shed light on untapped potentials, unspoken lines, and the fragility of small moments.
she pursues an old dream of introducing African/Middle Eastern music to world music trends. She delves into local music of Egypt, west and southern Africa, re-visiting their inspiring music scales and rich beats, and blending them softly with jazzy arrangements, electronic and synth pop vibes.
Fayrouz earned her master’s degree in cultural studies from the American University in Cairo in 2009. In parallel to her career in songwriting and performance she produced and supervised different research initiatives, journalistic and academic articles in popular culture, gender and music critique.
