French Coffee with Karimouche

Karimouche is a whimsical, multitalented French female singer. Part chanteuse, part rapper, and part slam poet, her songs incorporate her wide-ranging of influences of Hip Hop, Reggae, Pop and traditional French chanson. Subscribers to my newsletter have already sampled some music from this playful French artist.

Karimouche is a portmanteau of vocalist Carima Amarouche’s first and last name, and also the name of her band, which includes keyboardist Jean-Pierre Caporossi and human beat box Kosh. Carima herself is of Moroccan descent (she sings in Berber and French) and grew up in a housing project in Lyon, France. Her background includes theater, costume design, and dance.
