Moroccan Singer / Songwriter to Perform Live in NY, Boston, Washington DC & Montreal
The internationally known singer-songwriter Saida Fikri will be performing live in New York, Boston, Washington and Montreal, Canada in April 2008. Known for her unique style in fusing modern and traditional melodies, Saida Fikri composes and performs poetic songs in a combination of Morrocan dialect, Classical Arabic, French, and English. Saida Fikri’s music displays a profound concern for the hardships, struggles and suffering of the ordinary people of Morocco. Her songs dared to be the voice of the Moroccan masses at a time when it was politically difficult to do so. But her themes -- social justice, peace, alienation, exile and tolerance -- are universal to humanity.
