Lena Chamamyan

Lena Chamamyan, one of the most prominent singers and musicians in the Arabic-speaking world, returns to Kampnagel after seven years. Chamamyan has become famous with contemporary versions of folk songs from Syria, Armenia and most recently Bahrain. As a composer and multi-instrumentalist, she has created a new world music of Western and Eastern harmonies on four studio albums and sings in a total of six different languages. Since 2011, the Damascus-born cosmopolitan has been living in Paris and playing sold-out concerts in venues from the Gulf region to Canada. After acclaimed Kampnagel performances at the 2016 Summer Festival and at Theater der Welt 2017, Lena Chamamyan is now traveling to Hamburg with a seven-piece ensemble to hopefully create a new musical world order that knows no borders.
