"Ghenwa & Laila” is a Lebanese duo composed of musician Ghenwa NemNom and Dj Laila Sarkis, aka Djette. The two started a collaboration in 2020 and cultivated their signature sound by fusing the traditional Qanun (an Arabic string instrument and descendant of the old Egyptian harp) with deep electronic dance rhythms.

Ghenwa joined the National Lebanese Conservatory at eight years old, where she learned to master the Qanun. She continued her artistic journey at Oakland University in Michigan a decade later. Ghenwa is challenging the status quo and paving the way for an instrument that may be considered old-fashioned and limited to the traditional oriental music scene.

Djette has been making noise on the Beirut Dj scene since the early 2000s; she is notorious for her smile, good energy, and wide music selection. Djette is also a co-founder of Beirut’s legendary “Cotton Candy” party. She has held multiple club residencies over the decades in The Basement, Centrale, The Grand Factory, Garten, Skybar and Iris, to name a few.

As a duo, “Ghenwa & Laila” successfully crafted a unique musical experience for their audience in the SWANA region. Their heart is now set on taking this project West. The duo also aspires to inspire young girls in their region to pursue their artistic dreams.
