Songs to Heal and Empower
An electrifying combination of soaring Eastern melodies, powerful, passionate and heartfelt lyrics in Urdu and English, electronics, tabla and deep bass grooves supported by projections of translations and visual art to leave you moved, inspired and energised!
‘From the first note of the first number there was astonishment and rapt attention. There was a real sense of seeing something never tried before. Experts talk of "fusion"...but no- one's seen fusion like this’
Janet Trewin – Norwich Future Radio
ABOUT Songs to Heal and Empower
Songs to Heal and Empower is the product of a period of R&D, starting during the pandemic, where Samia built her own home studio, began learning about recording, music production and mixing with financial backing from The Arts Council of England, regular support from London based sound technician and artist Camilo Tirado, and working closely with the Home Recording Academy (HRA) run by Dr Isobel Anderson, to produce this groundbreaking genre-defying new work.
Songs to Heal and Empower is touring across the UK in 2023 and the new album is released across all digital platforms on the 9th June 2023.
