Amina Alaoui has had a major impact on the
evolution of Middle Eastern classical music. A
virtuoso pianist, Alaoui has performed in concert
with such Moroccan artists as Djamchid Chemirani,
Pedro Soler, Hameed Khan, Pablo Cueco, Hughes de
Courson, and Luis Llach and has composed and
played music for many of the country's top
choreographers. Born in Fez, Morocco, Alaoui
enrolled in the Conservatory of Rabat at the age
of six. In addition to studying classical piano,
she studied traditional Arabic-Andalusian music
and Moroccan and Middle Eastern dance. She
published her first collection of poems at the age
of ten. Although she studied philosophy and
linguistics (Arabic, French, and Spanish) at the
University of Rabat, Alaoui continued to focus on
music. She studied Persian classical music with
Djalal Akhbari and European medieval music with
Henri Agnel. ~ Craig Harris, All Music Guide
