Nour Harkati is a Tunisian, New York–based musician, singer-songwriter, and Guembri player, blending ancestral North African traditions with contemporary urban sound. Rooted in Gnawa rhythms and shaped by eight years in New York, his music is meditative, kinetic, and deeply groovy.
The latest album, Moulena (December 2024), fuses the Guembri with NYC urban groove, electronics, and modern songcraft, exploring migration, memory, and belonging. It premiered on KEXP and was celebrated at Public Records in New York.
Harkati has toured the U.S, performed at GlobalFEST, Celebrate Brooklyn, and Habibi Festival, and in January 2026 begins a one-month residency at Pioneer Works. Across continents, he continues to honor lineage while pushing it forward.
