Lynn Fattouh aka Malikah - which means Queen in Arabic - was born in Marseille, France and grew up in Beirut. She began to be interested in hip hop at the age of 16 and achieved early success. in 2006, she was voted best female rapper in Lebanon by MTV Arabia. International collaborations and concert appearances (including in Germany, Colombia, Kenya, the Philippines, the USA, France and Switzerland) followed, and it is not only in the Arab world (Lebanon, Egypt, Jordan, Syria, Tunisia, Kuwait, Oman, Dubai) that she inspires the masses with her powerful Arabic rhyme style. Characteristic of Malikah are her socially critical and political lyrics, such as in "Ya Imra'a" - a hymn to Arab women:
"Women! Scream freedom in the name of every woman who cried and argued in the name of humanity/ We want to be educated, we want to progress/ Shine, excel and dictate our own lives!" She will be supported on this evening by DJ Sotusura, her hype wife* and husband* Hamorabi and DJ Andaka from Linz.
