Tsoukina was a project by the young musician Imane Guemssy. After having immersed herself in traditional Gnawa music in Morocco and Brussels, she founded an all-female ensemble as part of a MetX Carte Blanche project.
She rearranged traditional songs, adapting them to the higher pitches of female voices. To these vocal lines, Imane added the guembri, a north african lute, and krakeb, mediterranean percussion instruments. Out of this combination, the members of Tsoukina developed a unique and contemporary repertoire.
Tsoukina received support from MetX in 2019–2020 through a carte blanche.
