Flèche Love

An experimental laboratory and a path to personal healing

Flèche Love is Amina Cadelli’s main project. Born in Geneva in 1990 and shaped by her Amazigh roots, Cadelli describes herself as a living experimental laboratory: electronics, vocals, dance and performance all combine to create a body of work that defies categorization. The three albums released to date feature music in French, English, Arabic and Spanish, with a new record planned for 2027. Authenticity and integrity permeate her entire body of work.

Cadelli sang classical and baroque repertoire at the conservatoire, improvised at jazz sessions and studied ethnology and religious studies in Neuchâtel. Exchanges with the singer Rachid Taha were also formative; Cadelli contributed to his posthumous album Je suis africain.

The solo project Flèche Love was launched in 2017. Thematically, it revolves around healing, reconnection, feminism and the question of what it means to live between cultures. Science, particularly astrophysics and ethology, forms an equally important point of reference as a love of the absurd.

Excerpt from the jury statement

Active for several years on the international scene as an urban, independent and multifaceted artist, Flèche Love is gaining increasing recognition – a recognition that is now finally being acknowledged in her home country with a Swiss Music Prize.
