Check Full Discography
Abdullah Miniawy (born 1994) is an Egyptian expressionist, writer, singer, composer, 3D generalist (programmer) and actor. Over the years, he has shared the stage with celebrated artists like Erik Truffaz, Kamilya Jubran, Yom, Médéric Collignon, Aly Talibab, A Filetta, Hvad, Ziur, Zuli, Simo Cell, Maurice Louca, and many others. Abdullah has performed at prestigious international venues and festivals, including the Biennale di Venezia musica 2025, 72nd Festival d’Avignon, French national theaters, the Institute of Contemporary Arts in London, Haus der Kunst in Munich, MAO Museum in Turin, Philharmonie de Paris, and even the Louvre in Paris.
Beyond his music, Abdullah showcased his acting talent in Ala Eddine Slim's Tunisian feature film Tlamess, which premiered at the Directors' Fortnight at Cannes Film Festival in 2019. The film received critical acclaim, winning Best Full-Length Feature Film at Kino der Kunst 2020 and Best Director at the Marrakech International Film Festival in 2020. Abdullah was shortlisted for Best Actor by the Arab Cinema Center at Cannes. He also directed his first short film, Rain Ticket in 2021.
As a composer, Abdullah has composed soundtracks for dance, theater, and exhibitions, including Wael Shawki’s Cabaret Crusades III, premiered at MoMA PS1; Kirsten Dehlholm’s AMDUAT, premiered at Hotel Pro Forma; Insurrection by Jilani Saadi; and On the Hill by Belhassen Handous.
His influence extends beyond the arts. In 2021, the European Parliament in Strasbourg selected Abdullah as one of three "change makers" from the Schengen area, inviting him to share his French-Egyptian perspective on contemporary issues at the European Youth Event’s “Live Fully” section. He also took part in "Europe Takes Part," a forum of 30 diverse speakers discussing economic models and digital solutions for artists in a post-pandemic world. Since 2015, Abdullah has collaborated with the German trio Carl Gari, blending avant-garde electronic sounds with his poetic lyrics. Their debut album, Darraje, was named one of the top 50 albums of 2016 by NPR. Theirfollow-up, The Act of Falling from the 8th Floor, received acclaim from Pitchfork, The Quietus, and Wire Magazine, while the track "Zawaj" topped Resident Advisor’s list of "Deep Listening" tracks in 2019.
In 2023, Abdullah’s album Le Cri du Caire, featuring Erik Truffaz, won the Les Victoires du Jazz award; the French equivalent of the Grammy Awards achieving global distribution and acclaim.
As a writer, Abdullah's lyrics resonate deeply across the Middle East, especially during the Arab Spring, where they were displayed in places like Syria's Yarmouk Camp, Tunisia, Egypt, Saudi Arabia, and other Arab and Western countries. In early 2022, he released his first collection of stories, Extinguishing The City of Lights.

Kharatet El Henna is a choir working to revive lost henna harvest songs from Gabès, Tunisia and Fayoum, Egypt. Drawing from existing and archived music and ritual, the project reimagines a fading tradition that has long been shaped by women and the land to stage performances that explore cultural loss, resilience and the power of art to reconnect audiences with forgotten heritage.
Watch the Abdullah Miniawy Trio activate the Musée de Grenoble in a new video work filmed by Henri Nun and co-directed with Miniawy. The trio continues its forward movement, following an independently released album that pushes the intersection of electronic and baroque sound. Their practice builds on years of transforming MIDI fragments, harmonies and digital textures into physical, acoustic performance an ongoing process of experimentation that has brought them to leading 2025 platforms including Unsound, the Venice Biennale, CTM, and more.
As they look toward 2026, the trio expands its research into Tunisian sonic heritage while developing new commissions and a multi-continent tour across Asia, the Americas, and Europe. Further details will be shared here.

Abdullah Miniawy, driven by an expansive dedication to art-making, moves fluidly across disciplines—shifting from early experiments in videogame design to poetry, performance, and hybrid sonic practice. Nigma Enigma marks a new chapter: an immersive walk through his album of the same title, released on Hundibess and entirely programmed, sculpted, and rigged by Miniawy. Over the past five years, he has built a technical vocabulary through C++, Unreal Engine, and iClone, shaping the project’s visual and interactive language. The work was presented at the National Museum of Science in Sweden on 26.09.2025 and on several occasions, where it received a notably strong response from the audience.

pplsongs is the sole team presenting the work of Abdullah Miniawy worldwide. Formed by six members, the collective moves outside the usual logic of the touring industry: fewer circuits, deeper conversations, and an emphasis on creating experiences rather than delivering standard shows. Their approach connects Miniawy’s practice across film, video games, literature, and performance, bringing these strands together as a single, integrated encounter rather than a gig framed by conventional booking structures.
In distancing themselves from the reputational cycles of agencies, pplsongs prioritizes direct human connection building friendships rather than simply cultivating an audience. As Miniawy noted years ago, making friends remains one of the most joyful parts of the art world. You’re invited to reach out, message, or simply connect. There is always room to meet, share time, exchange records, and offer guestlists.
