Biography
Lima Wild, whose real name is Halima Maoulida, is from the island of Mayotte.
Very young, Lima Wild gained experience, working as a waitress at 14 years old[1], and marrying at 17 years old[1], and becoming head of a masonry company. But her only objective remained music[1]. She left Mayotte in 1989 to join Nice where she began performing in nightclubs in 1995. It was at this time that she began to write and released her first album, Moustakera[1], which reveals the love stories of Mahorese women and performs in concerts. "I wanted to talk about polygamy, it's part of everyday life in Mayotte"[1]
Halima Maoulida, alias Lima Wild, is one of the few women on the Mahorese music scene to have been influenced by singing since her birth[1]. “At the time, there was no electricity. We sang outside and we learned to dance with everyone. I started singing everywhere, even in Koranic school,” recalls Lima Wild. Halima then established herself, at 50, in the field of music, until then reserved for men, thanks to the support of those close to her[1]. Her songs are about love and encourage women to fight for their dreams.
Lima Wild plays mgodro and mbiwi, and composes songs with mixed sounds[1]. She draws her inspiration[1] from her experience, which feeds the lyrics of all her songs.
