Abdullah Miniawy Trio

Abdullah Miniawy, (Creator of Le Cri du Caire) is an Egyptian composer, writer, and singer, a well-known international artist from Fayoum living in Paris, whose album Le Cri Du Caire won the 2023 French Victoires du Jazz, the equivalent of the Grammys. Alongside him is Robinson Khoury, the young French trombonist of Lebanese origin, also based in Paris, who was named one of the rising talents for 2023 by the same prestigious award. Additionally, Paris-based Jules Boittin, another French trombonist and a professional with various French ensembles, has joined forces with them to form a musical trio led by Abdullah Miniawy, inspired by jazz elements and Egyptian soundscapes. Together, the trio is pushing boundaries by exploring new sonic ranges with an unconventional combination of three tenor instruments—the voice and two trombones. Their unique sound fuses the lyrical depth of Miniawy's voice with the bold, expressive capabilities of the trombones, creating a new hybrid musical experience.

Enter the straight bridge. Unlearn what you have learnt through the years in the west. Music is against existence. It has a glory power upon you. It makes you lose yourself, as if someone is hammering slightly from your flesh inside

Enter the straight bridge, where I wait for you in the Middleway, bending to a golden table. You are welcome and blessed to read with your heart and browse in the ethereal lost dictionaries. We live as we meant to be; eternal - searching for a folder of unwritten evidences. But do words count after sufferance? Religions expire. Positive-Dose in order to search for them one more time. Sound is the medium.


My solo work is an escape of freedom. It's the first time in my career, after years of collaboration with many artists and compromising what I feared to share if not dumbed down. I come out with the first tools I used before working with others, a record created from nothing with what I have next to me, raw and direct as a child's words. I prefer this level of fame—the challenge to play all roles at once. A raw state of improvisation. I found salvation in the first tool I used: voice and software.
