Alisha Sufit (born 1946) was the English singer-songwriter with the 1970s Magic Carpet, whose eponymous first album was released on the UK Mushroom label in 1972.

She went to Chelsea College of Art, London, to study painting and etching, and then to the École nationale supérieure des Beaux-Arts in Paris, France, after which she began performing in clubs and colleges around the UK, singing her own compositions plus traditional folk songs, self-accompanied on acoustic guitar and Appalachian dulcimer.

[citation needed] In 1971, Sufit joined with ex Chelsea School of Art fellow student Jim Moyes plus two musical friends to form the psychedelic progressive folk-rock band, Magic Carpet.

The album included contributions by Ray Warleigh (saxophone), Bernard O'Neill (bass), Magic Carpet percussionist Keshav Sathe (tabla), Mamadi Kamara (congas and percussion), Chris Haigh (fiddle) and Alan Dunn (accordion).

In 1994, Sufit released the album Love and the Maiden, recorded in 1974,[7] a signed limited edition CD with sleeve notes by UK guitarist Davey Graham.
