Hasna El Becharia

Hasna El-Bacharia (Arabic: حسناء البشارية; June 28, 1950 – 1 May 2024) was an Algerian singer and multi-instrumentalist who specialized in diwan music and playing the sintir. Quotes The guembri and I have a bit of history. My father was a Gnawa master and I wasn’t allowed to touch this instrument. When I dared to do so, I was beaten. When I arrived in Paris, I dreamed of my father saying: “Go ahead.” I was scared about doing the first album. But for the second, it was fine. This is a very personal record, I got a lot of suffering and memories out of my system. I gave everything I had in me. What’s different is your mind and your experience. There’s no stress. If things aren’t working, we just brew some more tea. You can feel all that listening to the album. Yes. It means that I, an Algerian woman, sang at the PanAfrican, like Miriam Makeba.
