A genuine school of Amazigh song and with more than 160 poems to her credit, Raissa Fatima Tabaamrant has broken many taboos for the purpose of defending Amazigh identity. Raissa Fatima Tabaamrant was born in Id Salm, an Idauchqra tribe in Ifrane. As she worked the land in her native locality, Fatima Tabaamrant took to versified and sung speech, as well as to village collective dances. She thereafter received training and instruction from great masters, including Raiss (Chief or Leader of the band) Moulay Mohammed Belfqih, who actually helped Fatima produce her first album in 1985.
