Nouamane Lahlou
He is one of the most popular singers in Morocco. Compared to others who took over the song scene long before him, he made a dazzling rise to fame after only a few years. But all this has a price and requires that we devote ourselves fully to the service of art.
Aliya Cycon
Aliya Cycon was born and raised in America, but her music suggests otherwise. She sings in Arabic, Spanish and her native English, among other world languages and dialects, and accompanies herself with her beloved and signature Oud.
She has performed at the Nobel Business For Peace Awards in Oslo, and toured internationally as a “Cultural Ambassador” for the US State Department, performing in music festivals in Tunisia, giving workshops to Syrian refugees in Jordan, and composing the music for the national celebration of the 30th Anniversary of Kuwait’s liberation. She regularly performs her original music and multi-cultural covers in the US and Spain, where she currently lives.
Her diverse discography includes the small-ensemble and traditionally-inspired “We Will Be Light” (2015) , the large orchestral album “Prayer” (2017) and an upbeat Mediterranean fusion EP called “Aliya and The New Andalus” (2019). Her latest single “Breath: Psalm 150” was recently released in May 2021.
