HIND ENNAIRA
Morocco
Hind Ennaira is a Moroccan Gnawa musician, born on the Atlantic coast in Essaouira (Morocco), the cradle of Gnawa art, Afro-Moroccan and Desert Blues. Even at a young age, she immersed herself in this special genre of music, in a world that initially only seemed accessible to men. Today, Hind dominates the gnawa music scene, plays the instrument guembri and proves that this traditional Moroccan folklore is also for women. She founded her own band and has been performing in Morocco and abroad ever since. Hind is known as one of the “maâlems” whose performances ensure full houses. She is an expert in both traditional Gnawa and fusion and has worked with jazz, Andalusian and East African musicians.
