Bio
30 years old Zara Moussa lives between the river and the desert in Niamey, the capital of Niger. ZM took up the challenge of entering Niger's rap scene as a woman, so she could be heard and speak on behalf of those without a say. She is a real pioneer in women's hip hop in West Africa.
She started by covering anthems of well known singers, playing with Niamey's Wiza Orchestra, amongst others. In 2002, she wins the rap contest organized by the French Embassy with her track « Femme Objet ». This enables her to record her first two singles. ZM builds up a name and a steady reputation amongst the hip hop crowd.
She cries out the words many can only think quietly. Zara Moussa has found a special place in Niger's heart.
