Chili Houritki

In Chadian Arabic, her first name, Mounira, means "radiant", and her stage name, Mitchala, the "sweet panther". This resplendent young artist more than lives up to these epithets. Although based on the beats and colours of traditional genres, her melodies are firmly contemporary. In ballads brimming with emotion, Mounira's voice grows gentler and smoother. Camel Zekri's arrangements, which focus on acoustic sounds, perfectly showcase this remarkable timbre, this desert folk blues so beautifully expressed by Mounira Mitchala.
