Personifying the diverse European, African and Oriental cultural heritage of Morocco, Oum?s singing blends with jazz and soul music elements from North African Berber music, Andalusian classical music, her own Sahrawi roots as well as Gnawa, Cuban and Ethiopian rhythms. Drawing inspiration from the collective oral traditions of her country, Oum and her musicians create on Zarabi a wonderfully elegant, authentic and vibrant tapestry of contemporary Moroccan music with a traditional song (?Ah Wah?), a cover of Cuban singer Maria Teresa Vera?s ?Veinte A?os? in Darija and eight new compositions.
