Najwa Nimri Urrutikoetxea (Spanish: [ˈnaʝwa ˈnimɾj urutikoeˈtʃea]; born 14 February 1972) is a Spanish actress and singer.
In 1996, Nimri formed the musical duo Najwajean along with producer Carlos Jean, launching No Blood, an early instance of a trip-hop album in Spain.[1] She first appeared in a film with a leading role in Jump into the Void (1995),[2] eventually becoming one of the big names of 1990s and 2000s Spanish cinema.[3] Film roles that came after her debut include performances in Passages (1996), Open Your Eyes (1997), Blinded (1997), Lovers of the Arctic Circle (1998), Asfalto (2000), Sex and Lucia (2001), and Fausto 5.0 (2001).
After spending some time on the back burner as an actress, her popularity greatly increased in the streaming era for her television work in villain roles in crime drama series Locked Up and Money Heist.[4][3]
