Kefaya & Elaha Soroor in Manchester

Elaha Soroor, a singer and composer from Afghanistan, brings her powerful voice to Manchester as part of the ensemble Kefaya. Soroor first gained fame on the TV talent show Afghan Star and has since become known for her bold, politically charged music, including the song "Sangsar" which criticizes stoning laws. Her work with Kefaya blends traditional Afghan folk with contemporary sounds, creating a unique and moving live experience.

Attendees can expect an evening of emotionally resonant music that draws on Soroor's personal story as a Hazara refugee and activist. The performance highlights her journey from singing in secret to becoming an internationally recognized artist, including her inclusion on the BBC's 100 Women list in 2024. This concert offers a rare chance to hear music that speaks to resilience and the fight for equality.
