Vocalist, dancer, gimbrist LALA TAMAR is a sought after performer on the world stage. Her concerts cull the deep secrets of North African groove with feminine prowess and multicultural generosity. Reclaiming her Moroccan/Brazilian heritage with attitude, LALA TAMAR is pop music’s new Eastern muse.
Ancient songs touched by the spell of gnawa trance, her grandmother’s music resurrected from the atlas mountains with the unstoppable rhythms of qarqaba and electric bass. The Moroccan pop quartet cooks keys/synths alongside drums and percussion, a pocket honed over generations, rhythm in the bones that makes strangers leap and mountains call back in heterophonic reply.
Famous on the streets of Marrakech, LALA’s videos have collected millions of hits. Coming off a sold out debut at Lincoln Center, the singer is an emergent force, delighting new and old friends across the globe. An evening with LALA TAMAR is a pure gift, irrefutably transformative.
