Dina discovered her passion for music at the age of 19 when she joined the reputable Warsha Theater Troupe, where she mastered the iconic vocal and spoken word traditions of Al-Sirah Al-Hilallya and Al-Madih. Today, Dina and her band are a popular staple in Egypt’s budding independent music scene, experimenting with local idioms and genres that fuse the sounds of instruments such as the accordion, trumpet and the Irish violin. In 2012, Dina was the recipient of The Rolex Mentor and Protégé Arts Initiative with Gilberto Gil as her mentor.
