Oum El Ghaït Benessahraoui has made it her mission to confront prejudices decisively, using only the power of music. The singer from Morocco fights against clichés that reduce Muslim women to the veil and Arabs to holy warriors, in an impressive way.

The album explores heritage, love, commitment, and women's memories. Stripped down and bold, it relies on vocals and percussion, returning to the essentials: voice and rhythm. True to her Moroccan roots, Oum pays homage to traditional styles with a contemporary and poetic approach, driven by instruments and body percussion.
