Am Assa

Singer-songwriter Kamel Zennia is drawing on the lessons of his international journeys and his hearty roots to break new ground. His songs - sung from his soul in Tamazight (Berber), French, and Spanish - speak of seduction, heritage, resolve, and the exuberance of life with tenderness and grit. True to the nomad within, he blends Kabyle folk-rock, desert blues, and rumba flamenca with reggae and Andalusian accents to create a unique multicultural cocktail that blurs boundaries and invites listeners to dance, discover, weep, and get drunk on passion. Am Assa is a musical journey through North Africa and the Mediterranean and Kamel Zennia mixes the region's different influences and instruments to create a beautiful CD with sprinkles of different flavors on it.
