Aziza Brahim - Thajliba (official audio video)

Taken from Mawja (Out on Glitterbeat, February 23, 2024)

Aziza tells us about the track: "In the Sahrawi tradition, a “thajliba” is a type of poem to encourage or a praise song in which someone expresses his/her enthusiasm towards another person. It can be very thoughtful but it is generally very natural and spontaneous. For my album, Mawja, I have wanted to practice this kind of poems and I began to think about my two daughters when I was playing the guitar. “Thajliba” is a very special song for me because it has a deep emotional meaning, it is a song of unconditional love from a mother to her daughter for being different, free, and aware. She gives blessings to her and tells her that she is above everything else. A clear and direct feminist message for individual freedom in all fields, that reaffirms the power of women."
