Rima Khcheich performed three musical pieces: Al Sama'a wel Rah, Harram El Noum & Washwishni.
Rima Khcheich is well renowned for having given its rebirth to the Andalusian form Muwashah, as well as to the traditional Arabic repertoire of the 19th and 20th Century that she both teaches and explores.
