People tend to disagree about the origins of Natacha Atlas's parents. Natacha herself talks about an Egyptian grandfather. Her father probably is a Moroccan Jew (or at least Moroccan with Jewish ancestors), her mother is said to be an English Muslima. Natacha referred to herself as a "human Gaza Strip" (2) :" conflicts between my European and Arabic sides will continue -- my genetic code almost inevitably made me a nomad" (1) Natacha grew up in the Moroccan suburb of Brussels, where she was introduced to the art of raq sharki (belly dance) and cha'abi (modern Egyptian pop music). |
