Femme & Fermented | Sheyma

On stage, sheyma seamlessly blends voice, movement, and rhythm, singing, playing frame drums, and belly dancing in an electrifying, trance-like performance. Alongside multi-instrumentalist Giuseppe, who plays the oud, settar, and lyra, she creates immersive sonic journeys that transcend cultural and musical boundaries. Beyond music, Sheyma’s performances are an act of resistance and celebration. As a queer Moroccan artist, she challenges societal taboos surrounding gender, sensuality, and identity, reclaiming space for self-expression and liberation. Her work is deeply inspired by club culture and its transformative power—a sanctuary where bodies move freely, traditions evolve, and identities are reborn.
