SAMIRA BRAHMIA (FRANCE/ALGERIA)
«I believe in music because it allows me to believe in humanity, and I am convinced that it can save the world.» Samira Brahmia For over 10 years, Samira Brahmia has made a name for herself in the world of «world» music, thanks to her voice and her quietly strong personality.
But with her appearance on " The Voice ," where she bravely performed "Haramtou Bik Nouassi," a love song from the Arab-Andalusian melting pot, Samira Brahmia galvanized audiences on both sides of the Mediterranean. It's a sign of encouragement for a singer who asserts her plural identity and has the ambition to shake up aesthetic codes to take her art beyond its assigned territories.
Her entire career is oriented toward multiculturalism. She enjoys the swing of Ella Fitzgerald, the groove of Cheikha Rimitti, the spirit of Edith Piaf, and the saudade of Cesaria Evora. Like her illustrious predecessors, she has a voice with a grain, dynamics, texture, and class reminiscent of those said to heal the soul. With this second album, composed as closely as possible to her emotions, Samira Brahmia offers a true glimpse into her personality. Evoking the careers of Myriam Makeba and Cheikha Rimitti, she affirms her freedom as a woman and her ethics as an artist. It is an album she imagined as a singing tour, playing with intimacy and sensuality, seriousness and humor, weaving together Arab-Andalusian, African, jazz, and pop strands. These thirteen themes evoke the selflessness of African mothers, exile, altruism, ancestors, refugees, desire, and intoxication... As a result of her many years of commitment in Africa and around the world, Samira Brahmia has been appointed as an ambassador for authors' rights in Africa with CISAC (International Confederation of Societies of Authors and Composers). She is also an ambassador for ONDA (Office National des Droits d'Auteur et Droits Neighbours en Algérie).
