Our Take

SITI MUHARAM's latest offering Ashikibaya (Feat. Tamar Collocutor) is a tantalizing fusion of traditional taarab music with a modern twist. Muharam, the granddaughter of legendary musician Siti Binti Saad, effortlessly combines the sounds of Zanzibar with the jazz-infused saxophone stylings of Collocutor. The result is a vibrant, energetic album that is sure to captivate listeners from start to finish.

From the infectious rhythms of "Muhogo wa Jang'ombe" to the haunting vocals of "Kijiti," Ashikibaya is a masterclass in musical storytelling. Muharam's powerful voice soars above the intricate instrumentation, drawing listeners in with each note. Meanwhile, Collocutor's saxophone adds a dynamic layer of depth and texture to the already rich tapestry of sound.

One standout track, "Unaniteka," showcases Muharam's range as a vocalist, as she effortlessly transitions from soft, intimate crooning to powerful, emotive wails. The track builds to a climactic finish, leaving listeners breathless and wanting more.

Overall, Ashikibaya is a triumph for SITI MUHARAM and Tamar Collocutor. The album expertly combines traditional taarab music with contemporary jazz elements, creating a unique and captivating listening experience. So sit back, relax, and let the music of Ashikibaya transport you to another world. Trust us, you won't want to come back.
