Singer, Songwriter and multi-instrumentalist Hamza Namira is being hailed as the “new Sayyid Darwish” (Al-Ahram). Often compared to Sayyid Darwish, Mohammed Mounir and Ahmed Mounib, Hamza's uniqueness is not only being one of the faces of the Arabic modern culture, but also his insistence on discussing the real and relevant social and humanitarian issues through his songs, to keep us firmly rooted in our culture and tradition, and dreaming of a better future.
Born in 1980, Hamza started to develop an interest in music during his teens, and he set about learning the guitar, keyboard, and ‘Oud. He composed his first songs and succeeded in getting a few like-minded friends together and established the band “Nomaira.”
