Karima Nayt is a born artist from Algeria, blessed by the stars of song and dance.
Rewarded by the National Conservatory of Algiers, she devoted herself with passion to
contemporary dance. Attracted by the cultural life that was boiling in Cairo, she
decided to move there in 1998 where she met two great artists who became her allies.
Walid Aouni, choreographer of the dance company of the Cairo Opera where she later
became a soloist dancer and grammy-awarded musician and composer Fathy Salama who asked
her to be part of his group Sharkiat.
Two years later she recorded her first single "Jerusalem" and in 2004 she signed her
first maxi deal with the Les disques sérieux label in Paris. A polyglot, she performs
in Arabic, French, English and Berber, a reflection of her Kabyle roots.
Karima has performed in festivals and on stages all over the world both as a singer and
a dancer. She has appeared as a guest artist with such groups as "Saboon" (ex
Soapkills)(Lebanon/France), "Oriental Mood" (Denmark) and "Eugegnio Bennato" (Italy).
As a dancer, she has garned the praises of such luminary choreographer as Karine
Saporta (France), Lena Josefsson (Sweden) and Mohamed Shafik (Egypt) with whom she has
won numerous awards, including the Grand Prize of best actress at the 16th
International Festival of Experimental Theatre in Cairo for the performance "On the
table listening to Wagner".
