WHERE MOROCCAN SOUL MEETS BRASILIAN BEATS
_edited.png){kind=logo}
LALA TAMAR is what happens when Moroccan soul and Brazilian beats meet on the dancefloor. A singer-songwriter, poet, guimbri player, dancer, and world traveler, LALA TAMAR stirs ancient North African rituals into fresh, feminine alchemy. She sings in Arabic, Amazigh, Portuguese, and Haquetia, making music that feels like flipping through your grandmother's photo album while dancing in a poppy dreamscape.
LALA TAMAR made history as the first artist to record a contemporary album in Haquetia and one of the first women to introduce the guimbri to new musical worlds. She's shared stages with North African greats like Karim Ziad, Khadija El Warzazia, and Mehdi Nassouly, and made her Lincoln Center debut in New York City.
Released on May 8, 2026, her latest album, 'BAB SBA3' (The Lion's Gate), is a North African–Atlantic rooted pop journey that weaves together Gnawa pulse, Moroccan soul, Brazilian warmth, and contemporary pop through a distinctly feminine lens. Written mainly in Darija, the album is an intimate tribute to her ancestry, identity, and the search for her own language, celebrating cultural dialogue, feminine expression, and transformation.
LALA TAMAR invites you into her world: a place of play and poetry, softness and strength, where music isn't just heard... it's remembered.
