Jihene Emna Serkhane, is a Bushwick-based Algerian-Tunisian Amazigh ("Berber") drum player. Jihene has been a student, teacher and performer of Middle-Eastern and North-African (MENA) percussion and dance since 2008. As Jihene's personal journey attests, women have very limited access to learning and performing folk music, especially drumming, and are denigrated for their lack of skills.
