Angela Nashed
Angela Nashed wants to tell you a story through music that you haven’t heard before.
Her sound, a blend of soul, funk, blues, and R&B carries you through her melodic universe of love, pain, beauty, and poetry.
As a daughter of Egyptian immigrants and a child of the 90s, Angela's musical influences were eclectic at an early age and these worldly influences attribute to her a fresh style.
Sensual, aching vocals that move across emotional and mental states, at times moving you to dance and at other times moving you to tears. With surprising turns yet familiar haunts, Angela ignites the full-bodied atmosphere and authentic textures of Soul/RnB.

Collectiva Tribu
Colectiva Tribu, fondée en 2019 de manière autogérée et auto-convoquée, a d'abord émergé pour partager et discuter des réalités sociales vécues par les femmes immigrantes. Aujourd'hui, ce collectif réunit des femmes et dissidentes féministes d'origines, générations et milieux divers, travaillant sur des enjeux locaux et internationaux, en mettant l'accent sur les défis quotidiens rencontrés par ses membres.
Dans sa lutte contre la violation des droits des femmes, le collectif intervient dans l'espace public par des actions et performances artistiques. Il milite également pour l'ouverture d'espaces d'échange et de discussion, permettant à d'autres femmes et dissidentes de se joindre à la cause en partageant la vision d'une lutte commune.
Colectiva Tribu was founded in 2019 in a self-managed and self-convened manner, initially coming together to share and discuss the social realities faced by immigrant women. Today, it is a collective of women and feminist dissidents from diverse origins, generations, and backgrounds. The group addresses both local and international issues, prioritizing the challenges encountered in daily life.
In its ongoing fight against the violation of women's rights, the collective engages in public interventions and artistic performances. Additionally, it works to create spaces for exchange and discussion, allowing other women and dissidents to join in the shared vision of this collective struggle.
