Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Since making her mark on the superb Trans-Global Underground album Dream of 100 Nations in 1993, the Egyptian-Palestinian-Jewish singer and belly-dancer Natacha Atlas (right) has used her rich vocals to build a strong solo career. After touring last year with Page & Plant, this one-off show will include much new material from Gedida, her third solo album, which further refines and expands her vision of fusing the Arabic music of North Africa with the technological grooves of Western dance culture. The album should prove a springboard for success in the UK from her current word-of-mouth status, and "One Brief Moment", the first single from the album, should bring her radio play and the same success she enjoys in France and her current home of Egypt.
Improv Theatre, London W1 (0171-387 2414) Wed. `Gedida' is released through Beggars Banquet on 22 Feb
