Women's Voice – International Music Network

Women's Voice is an international music network, founded in 2000 by Malika Makouf Rasmussen. Women's Voice performers come from various countries and continents around the world, and participate in all aspects of our unique musical productions, including recordings, workshops and concerts. Women's Voice performances have been presented in Africa, Asia and Europe.

Through working and playing together, our artists discovered the power of their combined creativity and diverse musical and cultural backgrounds, resulting in new forms of musical expression that represents issues and experiences that are meaningful to listeners everywhere. 

Over the years 60 artists have joined the newtwork, among them were: Maryam Mursal (Somalia), Bi Kidude (Zanzibar), Mari Boine (Norway), Denez Prigent (France), Queendom (Norway), Inga Juuso (Norway), Sibusisiwe Ncube (Zimbabwe), Hege Rimestad (Norway), Chiwoniso (Zimbabwe), Farida Tadjene (France), Positive Black Soul (Senegal), Lourdes (Angola), Mingas (Mosambic), Frøy Aagre (Norway), Eva Nyambe (Tanzania), Line Peters (Norway), Miriam Aziz (France), Olav Torget (Norway).

Through our work we bring to light gifted composers, musicians and songwriters and at the same time form a living network of performers. If through our efforts we succeed in inspiring others to make the leap onto the stage, and act as positive role models for younger musicians who wish to perform on the stage, we have achieved something immeasurably valuable.
