• A child of Marseille with parental origins from across the water in Algeria, Soha is a singer of great promise, who has made a big impression in France already, this, her first album, being nominated for the ‘Victoires de la Musique’ under World Music (announcement 8 March 2008)
• So, why world music? This album evokes Reggae and Jazz, Cuba and Cape Verde , optimism, melancholy and hope, with lyrics delivered perfectly in French, Spanish and English. Although it is a melange of styles and influences, there is a fine coherence to the songs, Soha’s fresh voice and beauty providing the focus.
