Aziza Brahim

Aziza Brahim is the new star of desert blues. On her latest Album «Soutak» (Your Voice) the singer lends her voice to the Sahrawi people and their struggle for recognition. Her songs blend Malian, Spanish, Afro-Cuban and Anglo-European influences with her unmistakable Sahrawi roots. «Her expressive power and the combination of political fight and intimate moments are reminiscent of the sorrow and the power of Billie Holiday», the magazine Les Inrockuptibles wrote. Supported by outstanding Spanish musicians and equipped with a powerful and warm voice and commitment, Aziza Brahim has everything it takes for an unforgettable evening on the lakeside stage. (ron)
