Medieval Femme

Following the camp-infused club music of 2017’s Shaneera, Al Qadiri once again examines questions of gender and representation in the Arab world, this time invoking women poets of the Middle Ages.

Fatima Al Qadiri's third full-length takes inspiration from classical poetry written by Arab women, revisiting medieval fantasies the composer had as a youth.

Fatima Al Qadiri takes us through the rich, vibrant history of Arabic music and culture on her latest Hyperdub release, Medieval Femme.

Fatima Al Qadiri's 'Medieval Femme' possesses loping curves and jagged edges, luscious melodrama balancing ultra-cool and contemporary beats.
