The Desert Rocker is an intimate, spiritual and profound portrait of the extraordinary Hasna El Becharia, pioneer Gnawa artist. The first female musician to break through the social barriers of this culture, she empowers and inspires women of all ages by reclaiming a musical tradition reserved for men for centuries.
A singularly talented artist, she leads women to redefine their roles and challenge cultural norms, one musical performance at a time
Followed by Q&A with Director Sara Nacer, a Canadian-Algerian emerging filmmaker based in Montreal. Recognised in Montreal for her contribution to the promotion of cultural diversity.
Part of DzFest – The third edition of The Algerian Festival for Arts & Culture in the UK - Produced by Culturama
Also in collaboration with CommuniTree
