Cairokee & Ghostly Kisses in Jeddah

Cairokee is an Egyptian rock band formed in Cairo in 2003, fronted by singer and guitarist Amir Eid. The group became closely associated with the 2011 Egyptian revolution through songs including “Sout El Horeya,” recorded with Hany Adel, and “Ya El Midan,” featuring Aida El Ayoubi. Its albums include Noaata Beida and Roma. Cairokee played Dubai’s Coca-Cola Arena as a five-piece rock band led by Eid. The group used the same full-band format for a headline concert in London at O2 Forum Kentish Town.

Ghostly Kisses is the Canadian dream-pop project of Quebec City singer-songwriter Margaux Sauvé, launched in 2015. Her soft vocals and electronic arrangements shape songs including “Empty Note,” “The City Holds My Heart” and “Blackbirds,” as well as the albums Heaven, Wait and Darkroom. Ghostly Kisses has performed at SXSW in Austin and Reeperbahn Festival in Hamburg as part of an international live schedule. The Heaven, Wait Tour followed the debut album, while the second record provided the title and repertoire for the Darkroom Tour. Ghostly Kisses has repeatedly performed in the United Kingdom and Turkey, including headline concerts in London and Istanbul.
