Ms. Edris features in the latest episode of “In Song” created by San Francisco Opera. In it, she returns to her birth town of Cairo, Egypt, where she speaks about what sparked her interest in classical music, her childhood, and the influence of her family, in particular, her uncle Mamdouh Edris who introduced her to Oum Kalthoum, Rachmaninoff and Maria Callas. The singer reflects upon how growing up as an immigrant, she was constantly faced with a search for belonging, and as a consequence, music became her home. Filmed on location at the Dahab Island Palace, Amina performs Oum Kalthoum’s classic Ghannili Shway Shway with her uncle on oud, as well as Bizet’s Adieux de l’hotesse arabe with pianist Amir Awad.
