Cherifa :Born in Tazrout Mu Ukhbou, close to Khenifra, Cherifa is 37 years old. Raised in her village, The poetess never attended to school, it is the same for all the girls of the same age.
She worked her voice outdoors during her shepherdess activity, at home during the domestic tasks or during meetings between girls. At the age of 16, she performs in the traditional festivals of the village. At the beginning of the eighteens, she met the star singer Rouicha. This meeting made her a Cheikha singer(popular singer or artist). She recorded then with Rouicha but also with Meghni, Lamrabeth and Aziz Arim. However she didn’t recorded for herself ; her family did not wish her to make song her livelihood.
Very quickly she will impose herself in the country with her exceptional voice comparable with the voices of Tifrist, Rqya Aabbou and Hadda Ouaakki, all of them er Tamawayt singers (solo improvisation) in the Middle Atlas. She came to France in 1999, Cherifa had impressed the public of Paris, moved by the power and roughness of its voice.
The poetry of Cherifa, just like that of the Cheikhat of the Middle-Atlas, is a major poetry which treats mainly everyday life. It’ s also a philosophy of life ; one finds lesson there about world destiny. It’ s a very picturesque poetry, made of metaphors where the things are said with half-words. Hence the difficulty and the complexity of its translation.
Under the pressures of its entourage and some of his friends, Cherifa ends up returning in studio and records her first album, an album which bears her name. An album: "Berber Blues" produced by "From a Distance" in 2002.
