Biography

Amina Alaoui (Arabic: أمينة العلوي; born 1964) is a Moroccan interpreter of Andalusi classical music. She sings in Arabic, Classic Persian, Haketia, Spanish, and Portuguese. Amina was born in 1964 in a traditional family in Fez, Morocco. At the age of six, she started to learn Andalusi classical music in her own family environment. She learned to play the piano and was initiated in European classical music by the conductor Mohamed Abou Drar. She also studied at the conservatory of Rabat from 1979 to 1981 with Ahmed Aydoun and Mohammed Ouassini, as well as modern dance with Marie-Odile Loakira and classical ballet with Vera Likatchova. Alaoui went to school at Lycée Descartes and studied philology and Spanish and Arabic linguistics at the University of Madrid and the University of Granada.
