Lmra Heyya Kulshi — Woman Is Everything

Documentary on Khadija el Warzazia and Gnawa

Based in Morocco / New York, United States · From Morocco

This is a 30-minute documentary film, not a music set. It follows recording sessions, conversations, and performances around Khadija el Warzazia’s self-titled album, so the sound world is the film’s edited mix of studio scenes, live footage, and interviews.
