Moroccan women musicians historically have treaded on questionable ground. Traditionally perceived as prostitutes who used music and dance as a way to open men's desire, women musicians and singers have numerous hurdles to overcome. The shattering of accepted gendered norms presents itself in complex and layered examples when music and dance are concerned. This paper is a preliminary presentation and analysis of a collection of audio-visual interviews with women singers and instrumentalists spanning different musical styles, regions, languages and social classes throughout Morocco since 2011. The social, personal and emotional consequences of their career choice elucidate the delicate territory that they navigate as women in the public eye.
