About Oum

In 2024, moroccan 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 daring off-roader, always mutating, in perpetual questioning of her identities with her intuition as only guide, to allow herself a suspended moment, the time of a breath, that of a temporary assessment, of 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, in 2013, Zarabi in 2015 and Daba in 2019. It is the expression of typically Moroccan hybridizations - African, Berber and Andalusian - which irrigate the crossbreeding of Oum. It is also joyful and natural fireworks display of polyrhythms which galvanize her music : the Marrakech signature. Dakchi is all about complicity and shared happiness, which speaks for itself. It tells the story of Oum. Her music. She. And her people.
