Origin: Jamaica/UK
Bio: Muneera Rashida and Sukina Abdul Noor were both born in Bristol to Jamaican parents, and have been performing together as Poetic Pilgrimage for 6 years. The early part of their career saw them as favorites on the London poetry circuit where they performed alongside some of the biggest names often to standing ovations, placing them at the forefront of the UK Muslim Hip Hop scene. They use their music to successfully bridge the gap between their community and the wider Hip Hop and music scene. Their musical goals are to make progressive Hip Hop music that fuses their African and Caribbean roots with their musical tastes such as Jazz, Afrobeat, Soul and beyond, providing a refreshing backdrop to their simple message of peace, unity and freedom. The group has toured all over Europe and performed alongside artists such as Talib Kweli. They have received critical acclaim and press coverage from many of Europe’s most important publications. Whether helping youth learn to write poetry from their hearts, or free-styling at the most male-dominated hip hop venues, Poetic Pilgrimage have become one of the most well-known and well-respected Muslim hip hop crews in the world.
