About
Widely recognised by critics as the best voice in Western Sahara, Mariem Hassan has unavoidably become the representative voice for her people throughout the world. Her powerfully haunting voice calls-out for the liberalisation of her occupied homeland. Early on in her music career, Mariem joined forces with "Matir el Uali Mustafa Sayed" (better known as "El Uali"). With El Uali she toured other countries to take part in cultural events of high political impact.
From this supported base, Mariem Hassan has sung for more than thirty years. She had recorded and participated in A PESAR DE LAS HERIDAS, MARIEM HASSAN CON LEYOAD and MEDEJ, edited by Nubenegra. DESEOS (Nubenegra, 2005) is her first solo album .
She has performed with a cream of talent on numerous occasions and extensively toured Europe performing at numerous concerts and festivals as a solo artist. These include WOMEX, Fórum de las Culturas in Barcelona, Casa Encendida in Madrid, Space Senghor, AfroPfingsten, Africa Festival, , Les Escales festival, Umo Jazz Club in Helsinki, Festival FMM Sines (Portugal), Festival Habibi Beats (Cologne), Festival Ostrava (czech Republic) and concerts in Amberes, Zurich, Luxembourg and Spain.
