AMINA, CAROLINA MAMA’S DEBUT ALBUM AMINA, IS A POWERFUL AND INSPIRING EXPRESSION OF WOMANHOOD, BLENDING FOLKLORIC/JAZZ ELEMENTS AND CINEMATOGRAPHY TO TAKE LISTENERS ON A JOURNEY THROUGH THE RICH CULTURES OF LATIN AMERICA AND NORTH AFRICA. THE ALBUM ENCOURAGES LISTENERS TO EMBRACE THEIR UNIQUE EXPERIENCES AND IS A TESTAMENT TO WOMEN'S STRENGTH, BEAUTY, AND RESILIENCE.
AMINA, IS A POWERFUL VISUAL AND SONIC EXPERIENCE THAT SHOWCASES THE STRUGGLES AND CELEBRATIONS OF WOMANHOOD. THE JOURNEY IS ROOTED IN LATIN AMERICAN AND NORTH AFRICAN FOLKLORE AND EMPHASIZES THE IMPORTANCE OF SOCIAL INVOLVEMENT. ITS PURPOSE IS TO SHED LIGHT ON WHAT IT MEANS TO BE A WOMAN. THE PROJECT ORIGINATED DURING RESEARCH IN MOROCCO ON FOLKLORIC MUSIC PERFORMED ONLY BY WOMEN, WHERE CAROLINA DISCOVERED THE STORY OF AMINA EL FILALI.
AMINA WAS A 16-YEAR-OLD GIRL FROM LARACHE, MOROCCO, WHO COMMITTED SUICIDE BY TAKING RAT POISON ON MARCH 10, 2012, AFTER SHE MARRIED THE MAN WHO HAD RAPED HER WHEN SHE WAS 15. THIS STORY AND CAROLINA'S INVOLVEMENT WITH THE NI UNA MENOS MOVEMENT PROFOUNDLY IMPACTED HER LIFE. THIS GRASSROOTS FEMINIST MOVEMENT, WHICH ORIGINATED IN ARGENTINA, INSPIRED CAROLINA TO CREATE A NEW PROJECT THAT DRAWS ON HER PASSION FOR MUSIC AND CINEMATOGRAPHY TO RAISE AWARENESS OF WOMEN'S STRUGGLES. THROUGH HER DEDICATION TO PROMOTING GENDER-BASED VIOLENCE PREVENTION, CAROLINA HAS BECOME A POWERFUL ADVOCATE FOR GENDER EQUALITY. "AMINA" IS A TESTAMENT TO WOMEN’S STRENGTH, BEAUTY, AND RESILIENCE EVERYWHERE.
AMINA IS COMING SOON…
