South Africa Tour
The Baxter is proud to present Egyptian song sensation and former Rolex protégée, Dina ElWedidi in Concert, for two performances only on Friday, 30 September, and Saturday 1 October 2022, at 8.15pm. For the first time in South Africa, the singer and composer, comes to The Baxter with her unique style, fusing local oriental and global styles of music. She is joined by an ensemble of six accomplished musicians.
Dina was chosen in 2012 by renowned Brazilian music icon Gilberto Gil to spend an extended mentoring period with him as part of the Rolex Mentor and Protege Arts Initiative. Together they performed in Egypt and Italy, as well as at Back2Black as part of the London 2012 Festival. Dina also met her mentor while touring in the United States, Switzerland and Brazil.
Dina will also host an exclusive masterclass focusing on songwriting, rhythmic and oriental sounds, and music production on 30 September at 10 am in the Baxter’s Concert Hall. She will be joined by six other Egyptian musicians, who will take you on a journey to explore and understand oriental music and song-writing.
