Nesrine, a multifaceted musical artist

Want to travel without moving while waiting to spend better days by the sea, with your feet in the water? Multiplying influences and cheerfully mixing genres, Nesrine takes us into a poetic universe, sometimes gentle, sometimes rebellious, at the crossroads of styles, regions and even continents.

Neko Neko: Could you briefly introduce yourself?

Nesrine: Singer-songwriter, I am a singer and cellist, a European and North African woman.

Neko Neko: How do you alternate between these different roles?

Nesrine: I happily mix them all up! For my music, I follow them all. But for other projects, I sometimes wear one or another…

Neko Neko: How would you describe your musical universe? What are your sources of inspiration, your references, your influences?

Nesrine: I describe it as jazz pop with North African roots, from Oum Kalthoum to Erykah Badu via Jacques Brel and Beethoven.

Neko Neko: Your second album was released at the end of 2020, do you have any other projects in the works at the moment?

Nesrine: Yes! Finally! I've found the path/voice for what I'm going to do. My next album will be released in early 2024. There will be more French than on the previous album.

Neko Neko: What are your upcoming tour dates?

Nesrine: I'm nearing the end of my tour for [my second] album; I still have a few dates left, notably at the Jazz Baltica festival, then three dates in France at the beginning of the summer. I also sing and play with André Manoukian on his Gainsbourg project.

Neko Neko: Let's talk a little about your Neko Neko bag ;) Where does it go with you? What does it usually carry? What are its main advantages?

Nesrine: It accompanies me on all my tours, whether I'm dressed casually or in fancy places. I only carry the essentials inside: since I travel a lot, I only carry the bare necessities. A passport, a cell phone, lipstick, my house keys, and that's it!

Neko Neko: Do you have a message to share?

Nesrine: Take care of your joy and your Neko Neko ;)
