Our August 2020 selection for Music of the Month
Siti Muharam
Romance Revolution on Zanzibar
Siti's extraordinary voice is soave... bringing the listener into her feelings, and it would seem, into her heritage as well. Although said to have a "golden voice," she doesn't boast the heft associated with women commonly portrayed as such... Siti Muharam expresses an innocence and melancholia that confer a penetrating and lasting grace. - Carolina Amoruso in her RootsWorld review
'Siti' is an arabic prefix meaning 'lady' and this record reignites the passions of the trailblazing Siti Binti Saad and the golden timbre of Muharam, her descendant and heir apparent to a singular, artistic legacy. This project gave her an opportunity to embrace her Great Grand-mother’s legacy and to see how important Siti Binti Saad is. It also allowed her to see that her own golden voice is a blessing in itself. The sound is new, although, in a way, it’s awoken something real that had been forgotten from the time of Siti Binti Saad. A new taste, a beautiful taste of the people of Zanzibar.
