Hindi Zahra

Hindi Zahra is a gift Moroccan singer and actress. Her songs are mostly in English but some lyrics are in Amazigh. Influenced by singers like Cheikha Rimitti, Hindi Zahra has drawn comparisons with Beth Gibbons of Portishead, Manu Chao, Billie Holiday, Patti Smith.

Her name means both 'flower' and 'chance'. Hindi Zahra became a chorus member first in hip-hop and then on the Paris alternative scene.
