Zina Daoudia Prepares to Release New Album
Moroccan artist Zina Daoudia is set to launch a new album titled “Al-Asl Fina ‘Adah,” marking a significant step in her artistic journey and showcasing her dedication to her authentic musical roots while offering a fresh take on melody, arrangement, and performance.
This new album comes after a period of preparation and continuous work, featuring eight popular tracks that blend various artistic styles characteristic of Moroccan music, including souk, hit, jdadba, chaabi, and raï.
Daoudia aims to present a rich musical collection that satisfies diverse tastes and resonates with her Moroccan audience.
This project serves as a “re-reading” of popular song in a modern style that maintains its original spirit, employing a fresh musical vision and a distinctive artistic touch, particularly in terms of arrangement, performance, themes, and lyrics. This gives the album an artistic quality that embodies the richness of Moroccan identity in all its cultural diversity.
The work results from successful collaboration between Daoudia and several well-known figures in composition, lyric writing, and musical arrangement. Each piece was crafted meticulously to ensure a cohesive artistic production that balances creativity with loyalty to traditional artistic practices, seamlessly blending styles like raï, chaabi, and jdadba alongside traditional rhythms like souk and hit, reflecting her artistic openness and commitment to solidifying the presence of popular music within the contemporary musical landscape.
The album’s release coincides with a continuous revival of Moroccan popular music, evidenced by rising listening rates and increasing attendance at events and festivals celebrating this artistic genre.
Zina Daoudia is considered one of the most prominent female names in Moroccan popular music, having built a strong career with her powerful voice and bold artistic choices that have garnered her a wide fan base both within Morocco and abroad. Recently, she has also taken on a new role as a judge on the talent show “Nجم الشعب” (The Popular Star).
