About: Ridina Ahmedová

Ridina Ahmedová (born 1974, Prague) is a Czech vocalist and performer of Czech, Russian-Jewish and Sudanese heritage who transitioned from jazz clubs to experimental vocal music and theatrical work. Together with double bassist Petr Tichý, she established the duo HLASkontraBAS - a project built on voice, acoustic bass and looper - which received an Anděl Award nomination in 2016. The project evolved in 2019 into Hlaskontrabas Oktet (four vocalists and four double bassists), whose 2024 album Kaleidoscapes won first place in the Czech Radio Jazz poll for best Czech jazz album of the year. Beyond music, she directs the Hlasohled voice centre and produces award-winning audio-documentary podcasts.
