Dakchi: Live In Marrakech (2lp)
In 2024, the singer and songwriter Oum is celebrating her fifteen-year career, with a live album, recorded in Marrakech, which plunges back into the magic of her three flagship records, here revisited in a different light. This seventh album, named 'Dakchi,' which means "those things", is the opportunity for this daringoff-roader to allowherself a suspended moment for a temporaryassessment, a return to her roots. 'Dakchi' is the first best-of live album, in which Oum brings together around ten titles from her repertoire woven throughout three albums with identities as singular as they are filled with a common sap: 'Soul Of Morocco' (2013), 'Zarabi' (2015) and 'Daba' (2019). It is the expression of typically Moroccan hybridizations - African, Berber and Andalusian - which irrigatethe crossbreeding of Oum.It is also joyful and natural fireworks display of polyrhythms which galvanize her music: the Marrakech signature, playful, sunny,festive. Oum slips three unpublished pieces, including the sublime Arabic cover of the legendary bolero 'Lagrimas Negras,' 'Toda A Gente,' an introduction to 'Mansit,' signed by Cuban musician Damian Nueva or the delicate 'Intidhar,' composed by Yacir Rami.
