In Morocco the songstress Oum has long captured the hearts of her people of her country and is revered like a diva. She blends Moroccan Gnawa rhythms with fine doses of Jazz sounds, Pop, R’n’B, Soul and Funk. A qualified architect, she brings the genre-mix into a balance, on which her expressive voice can unfold in a wonderful manner. Her journeys and encounters in recent years have provided the material for her new album «Daba», which translated means «now». This urgency in the title is echoed in the songs: on the search for a universal music, she reflects on the world’s disquiet, yet simultaneously inspires hope.
