Amina Fakhet (أمينة فاخت), born on 12 May 1968[1] in Le Bardo, near Tunis, is a Tunisian singer.[2].
Biography
Born in the Khaznadar neighborhood to a father working for the 'électricité et du gaz, she had a rather difficult and tumultuous childhood in a working-class area. Losing her father in 1982, at the age of 14, the following year she entered the televised competition Art et don, a show produced and presented by the composer Ezzedine Ayachi. She performed a popular song at the time, Mon histoire avec le temps by Warda.
However, the jury recognized her strong voice. At the age of sixteen, she joined the National Music Troupe led by Ayachi, who composed a song for her titled Maktoub.
On stage, she unleashed herself and held nothing back: it was precisely this touch of madness that the audience loved about her. Still very young, at 18, she left for Paris. Despite her hopes of securing engagements with production companies to build her own repertoire, she found no opportunities.
So, in 1991, she headed to Cairo to meet with producers in search of commercial hits. She returned three years later with her own album signed by the renowned Egyptian composer Ammar Chrii. Another composer, Baligh Hamdi, penned the song Ana haweet for her. Faced with harsh criticism from some circles, she eventually returned to Tunis.
It was there, over the course of a dozen years, that she finally found success: she regularly took the stage at the Carthage International Festival, such as in 2004, where she performed with French bassist Stéphane Bertrand, or in 2018, where she deviated from the scheduled program by resorting to musical improvisation and changing the selection of songs[3]. She announced that a portion of the earnings from her two concerts on July 21st and 24 July 2018 at the Carthage International Festival would be donated to the families of the martyrs of the national guard[4]Template:,[5].
