Artist Info: Meriem Ben Amor’s warm and ethereal voice blends the richness of Middle Eastern ornamentation with the softness and clarity of Western music. A multi-disciplinary musician, Meriem sings and plays both string instruments and percussion. Music has been an integral element for almost all of her life. She joined in her father's soulful Sufi chanting from a young age, learned the violin at 12, classical guitar at 17, and spent the past decade studying and playing the piano. In Tunisia, Meriem studied the Arabic Maqams and the Tunisian Malouf while finishing her bachelor’s degree in electronic engineering. She is a polyglot who speaks and sings in Arabic, French, Spanish and English. Her exposure to many cultural influences allows Meriem to sing in other languages like Romani, Ladino, Azeri, Farsi and Romanian.
This set of remixes from her debut album, Once Upon a Time, features an assortment of producers from all over the world: France’s Oblik Lines, Bulgaria’s Ivan Shopov (of Trigaida), Iran’s Asadi, and the US’s Carmen Rizzo.
