Sara El Hachimi Quintet

Sara El Hachimi’s music combines elements of jazz and singer-songwriter traditions and is characterized by a spirit of experimentation. Inspired by artists such as Samora Pinderhughes, Saya Gray, Esperanza Spalding, and Wayne Shorter, her work centers on expression, honesty, and reflection.

The pieces process emotions and experiences through music and lyrics. With floating melodies, pulsating rhythms, and an understated groundedness, the quintet creates a warm, intimate sound that touches the listener and leaves room for discovery. The ensemble — consisting of vocals, alto and tenor saxophone, piano, synthesizer, bass, and drums — offers an authentic, poetic soundscape that seeks to heal and connect.

Sara El Hachimi recognizes in music the power of communication — one that supports both ourselves and one another. Her compositions are philosophical, inviting, and never didactic, which lends them their particular authenticity. The quintet invites listeners to be present in the moment — human, aware, and close. Her music is an expression of genuineness and emotional depth that moves the audience and inspires reflection.
