Asia Madani is a Sudanese vocalist and percussionist based from Cairo, Egypt.

She performs traditional Sudanese folklore as well as music from various African regions. Her music reflects pride in her heritage as an African and as a strong woman with a voice that is magical and, at the same time, fierce. She is also a specialist at performing Zar, which is a healing ritual consisting of complex rhythms, voice and dance used as psychological treatment.

Asia started her musical journey at a young age, surrounded by music with a father who played oud and brother, who is a professional percussionist. Asia moved to Egypt in 2001 and has become a prominent figure in Egypt’s music scene, performing at venues such as the Cairo Opera House, Salah El-Din Castle, Bibliotheca Alexandrina, Damanhur Opera House and Cairo Jazz Club.
