KUKII (fka Lafawndah) – Rare Baby | A COLORS SHOW
Born in Paris, Egyptian-Iranian singer, composer and producer KUKII (fka Lafawndah) is a pioneering polymath: her work intersects the realms of music, fashion and the arts, and she is just as comfortable composing scores for feature films as for runways. Over the past decade, she has carefully crafted her own unique brand of global pop music, as demonstrated on her EPs ‘Lafawndah’ (2014) and ‘Tan’ (2016), as well as her studio albums ‘Ancestor Boy’ (2019) and ‘The Fifth Season’ (2020). Recently, KUKII has been working on new music that draws upon the rich and vibrant history of Cairo’s trance scene.
Stepping onto the COLORS stage for the first time, KUKII shares a taste of this new music with a rendition of her new single titled ‘Rare Baby’. Blending the intensity of Mahraganat (a style of Egyptian electronic music often played at weddings) with 90’s post-punk and metal, the track generates an ethereal atmosphere, which serves as the perfect backdrop for KUKII to deliver impassioned vocals celebrating her individuality. Watch the full performance on the site and keep an eye out for more new music from KUKII in the near future.
