Mariem Hassan sings of 'the thorn' of the Saharaui
Mariem Hassan sings with entrancing intimacy and poetry, in a a clear message calling for all to fight injustice, discrimination and persecution. All of these new songs have been developed in a close complicity with the poet Lamin Allal and the guitarist, Lamgaifri Brahim. Although very young, he has masered all the subtleties of haul music. And Mariem, with the lack of a appropriate Saharaui guitarist over the last years, was inspired to finally realize all the songs she has been carrying in her heart for so many years. The CD also contains innovative new ideas: the title song “Shouka” is a cantata developed by using all scales and rhythms of the Haul. The essence of the traditional haul is impressively kept by Vadiya Mint el Hanevi, percussionist, chorus and dance, Lamgaifri Brahim, guitar, Mariem Hassan herself , with the important cooperation of poet Lamin Allal.
