Cher Camilleri
Cher Camilleri hija kantanta u kantawtriċi elettronika minn Malta. Iddebuttat fl-2021 u sena wara ħarġet album. Il-kanzunetti ta’ Cher jimirħu fi spazji etereali, għandhom kwalità spiritwali rikka bl-emozzjoni u l-awtentiċità. In-natura artistika ta’ Cher hija sensittiva daqs kemm hi istintiva. Il-ħsejjes imlewna tas-synth jiżżewġu ma’ lirika li tlellex u flimkien jiżfnu fuq il-qċaċet u fil-widien tal-isfond melodiku, bħal spirti twajba minn dinja oħra mmexxijja minn tmellisa ġentili u ritmi propulsivi. Il-mużika ta’ Cher tipprovdi element ġdid fil-mużika Maltija li kapaċi jispira mużiċisti li jixtiequ jimxu fil-passi tagħha.

The Musical Acts of the Malta Mediterranean Literature Festival 2023
Cher Camilleri
Cher Camilleri is an electronic singer-songwriter from Malta. Having debuted her music in 2021 and a full length album in 2022, Cher’s songs present an ethereal and otherwordly quality that are as rich in emotion as they are in authenticity. Cher’s sensitive and instinctive artistic nature comes through on her brightly coloured synth sounds and shimmering Maltese vocals, that glide across the peaks and troughs of her melodic scapes like benevolent spirits from another world, with a light touch and propulsive rhythms, Cher’s music contributes a new element to the Maltese musical landscape, one which can help spark the flames in those who aspire to follow her trail.
