The musical lines of Samira’s Blues follow the Moroccan roots of Amsterdam based lead singer and songwriter Samira Dainan and take you through the Moroccan Sahara to the Malian shore on the other side. A fifty day walk, says the sign in M’Hamid el Ghizlane, the last village before the desert begins. The band covers the same distance in a few minutes: from subdued dreamy pieces to outright desert guitar, with which they have already caused a stir in Niger – thanks to Facebook.
Now Samira’s Blues is presenting their new EP “Salam”/ Peace in a tour through The Netherlands and Morocco. Starting with Paradiso Amsterdam Tolhuistuin.
Their focus on original compositions and interpretation of traditional songs is strongly recognised by the scenes they work with and are inspired by.
