Klaxics is the largest A Cappella ensemble in Egypt, a one-of-a-kind project that anyone can apply to become part of irrespective of age, background or even previous musical experience.
To present classical and contemporary songs in Egyptian dialect, the ensemble uses A Cappella: a classical art of singing that relies solely on human voices rather than musical instruments to make music.
The ensemble won the first prize of the Bibliotheca Alexandrina's Summer Festival Contest 2021, the Cultural Resource "Wijhat" grant in 2020, the Gemini Africa and Wasla Incubation Awards in 2022 and the Garage El-Mahrousa incubator award in 2023.
1- Introducing A Cappella and classical arts in their mother tongue and a relatable context for Egyptians audience.
2- Fighting cultural elitism by introducing classical renditions of pop songs and involving talented non-professionals in classical singing.
3- Changing common perception on classical arts in Egypt (irrelevant to the culture, hard to perform, only for special audience...etc.)
- Klaxics is the first and only Egyptian A Cappella ensemble led by a female musician.
- Dalia arranges and writes the music notations for different voices in A Cappella, trains the vocalists and sings as a mezzo-soprano.
- All the team members, including the founder, are self-taught musicians of different ages and background with a large percentage of women contributing to different songs.
- Children as young as 10 years old joined previous Klaxics productions.
- Many members of Klaxics, including Dalia, were previous members of Fayha choir which Dalia considers as the 'mothership of all Arabic A Cappella troupes'.
We sing different songs that describe that anything can be classically managed through the vocal skills of people and through harmonizing their voices together forming one whole integrated output that is full of harmony and love. Sound is integration of tones and notes, composing one beautiful symphony.
It is an example to everything, we all can use this exact harmony just through the chance of living together as a community; sharing the same aims for a better living, everyone is to know that they are singing
a different line of notes uniquely, having a different role, yet participating in the final harmony of the universe.
to spread this authentic spirit of music around the world....
