Lala Tamar

Lala Tamar is what happens when Moroccan soul and Brazilian beats meet on the dancefloor. A singer songwriter, poet, guimbri player, dancer and world traveler, Lala Tamar stirs ancient North African rituals into fresh, feminine alchemy. She sings in Arabic, Amazigh and Portuguese making music that feels like flipping through your grandmother’s photo album while dancing in a poppy dreamscape. Lala made history as the first artist to record a contemporary album in Haquetia and one of the first woman to introduce the Guimbri to new musical worlds. She’s shared stages with North African greats like Karim Ziad , Khadija El Warzazia, and Mehdi Nassouli, and recently made her Lincoln Center debut in NYC. With her new original album in the making, written mainly in Darija, Lala takes you on an intimate feminine Moroccan dive, an up-beat tribute to her ancestry. Lala invites you to join her world: a place of play and poetry, softness and strength, where music isn't just heard... it's remembered.
