Every day I think of you
Every night I wait for you
Ghoumari, Ghoumari
Lalla Mimouna

Oh fortunates

Pelgrims of the zaouia
Sidna Bilal
May the ancestors rest in peace
God is everlasting
Glory to god

Samira Dainan explores her roots and celebrates the healing power of music with Samira’s Blues. Her research into her heritage led her to the music of Morocco and the Sahara. In Amsterdam she writes songs together with guitarist Bas Gaakeer. The music relies on both the pentatonic scale and trance-like bass and percussion, prominent in the traditional music of those places.
