Asmae Lamnawar (Morocco)
Music :
Said Chraibi
Arrangeur : Aziz el Achahab
With the Orchestra and Choir of the Community
of Madrid
Born
in Casablanca in 1978, Asmae Lemnawar
is one of the most promising singing
stars of both Morocco and the Arab
world.
In 1995, at the age of 17,
Lemnawar made her singing debut with Angham,
produced by Radio TV Marocaine.
Between
1996 and 2000, she performed in many
productions and in film music in
Morocco . She also toured with the
group Oriental Mood to Denmark and
Sweden and is particularly appreciated
in Egypt , where her talent was noticed
by both critics and music lovers.
In 2002 Lemnawar appeared at the
Cairo Opera, that legendary place
that marks a right of passage for
well-known voices famed across the
Arab world. Now in her stride, and
still in Cairo , she released Wanari,
an album of consecration.
Lemnawar
has worked with composers of reknown
such as Talal Madah, Yousif Almehana
and the poet Khaled Bin Fahad.
Symbolising
of the vital links which unite both
banks of the Mediterranean Sea ,
Lemnawar will be appearing in the
opening concert of the Fes Festival
accompanied by some of her own musicians
as well as by the Orchestra and Choir
of the Community of Madrid. The programme
has been composed by the great Moroccan
oud player, Said Chraibi, around the
texts of the legendary mystics of Islam,
Al Harraq and the Master of Andalus,
Ibn’ Arabi.
