Odai is the visionary founding member of the AlDAYRA Community, a multi-disciplinary nomadic artist and Ceremonial Maestro whose profound journey encompasses the realms of sound, frequency, and herbal medicine. With a specialization that began at the age of 24, Odai has facilitated transformative workshops in sound and breathwork for many years.
Embarking on his musical odyssey at the tender age of 15 from Mafraq, Jordan, Odai’s path has woven through the rich tapestries of the Middle East and beyond—from Jordan to Turkey, Iran, Lebanon, Saudi Arabia, Morocco, Egypt, Brazil, and more. Each journey infuses his music with new layers of depth and transformation.
Odai’s vision is luminous, charting a unifying course for humanity and nature. He perceives sound as the primordial origin of all existence, and perhaps its ultimate culmination. Today, Odai's offerings are revered as healing music, ceremonial music, and shamanic music—an art he lovingly calls the music of the people, the music of the soul.
For Odai, the soul is our innate capacity to recall our origins and the legacy of our ancestors. His journey is a profound exploration of roots and a quest to dissolve boundaries, bringing us closer to our true selves and each other.
Sahar is an Egyptian multifaceted artist blending sound through her voice, rhythm through her drumming and movement through her body work practices.
Her journey is one of deep exploration into the realm of sound and frequency, specifically focusing on the medicinal qualities of music. This path is not just artistic—it’s a profound quest for healing, truth, and self-realization.
