Daba means “Now “in Moroccan dialect.
“I came to realise that the present is nothing more or less than a transition. So the idea of being present in the “now” is not a task for a superhero. It’s just learning to pay a little more attention,” Oum tells RFI’s SessionLab.
Considered to be ‘the ambassador of Moroccan music’, she explains:
“I’m not sure I deserve to be called an ambassador. I just enjoy making music, and learning who I am in that way. And, of course, I’m Moroccan.”
