Aita Mon Amour is a duo composed of Widad Mjama and KhalilEPI. This contemporary, electronic musical project explores a rich tradition that dates back to the 12th century: La Aita is a popular music genre rooted in the Moroccan countryside, sung by Chikhates, women-singers and guardians of traditions. Widad Mjama is one of the first rappers in Morocco. She trained at the Casablanca Conservatory in classical dance and the dramatic arts, and learned her way around the stage on Morocco’s underground scene with major figures from the world of hip-hop. She founded N3rdistan with Walid Ben Selim, with who she toured the world together and shared their love of poetry. Tunisian-born producer, composer, and multi-instrumentalist Khalil EPI is classically-trained (Arab music and Jazz), and learned heritage popular and traditional sounds from different cultures with his father, curator of Tunisia’s national sound archives. Aita Mon Amour has exchanged onstage and in the recording studio with N3rdistan, Deena Abdelwahed, Arabstazy, and Ammar 808, and collaborated with contemporary dance and opera projects.
