Nawal originally comes from the Comoros Islands, also known as the "Perfume Islands" or "Islands of the Moon," located in the Indian Ocean off the eastern coast of Africa.
Between traditional and contemporary, Nawal's music weaves a rich dialog of cultures, a reflection of the diverse character of life in her native islands. Indo-Arabian-Persian music meets Bantu polyphonies, the syncopated rhythms and Sufi trance of the Indian Ocean. Known as the "Voice of Comoros," Nawal is also the first Comoran woman singer/songwriter and multi-instrumentalist to give performances in public.
~~~~~ version français ~~~~~
Originaire de l'archipel des Comores, Nawal auteur-compositeur-interprète est la première femme musicienne de ses îles à se produire en public. Sa voix profonde, chaude et prenante n'a pas mis longtemps à être reconnue "La Voix des Comores".
Entre traditionnel et contemporain, la musique de Nawal, résolument acoustique, tisse un harmonieux dialogue des cultures indo-arabo-persane, avec les polyphonies bantous, les chants soufis, et les rythmes syncopés de l'océan Indien.
Artiste et productrice, Nawal évolue sur la scène professionnelle depuis plus de 20 ans. La deuxième tournée (2007) aux Etats-Unis et Canada fût un succès. De même que pour Aman (Paix Intérieure), son nouveau disque.
