WALKABOUT de Najwa

This new work includes ten new songs among which you can find one in French, very Najwa style, titled 'He has, mine'. Starting in March, he will dedicate all his efforts to making them known on a tour throughout Spain..

Nawja claims to feel “very satisfied” de ‘Walkabout’, a title inspired by a story her boyfriend told her about “the songs that the Australian aborigines sing to mark the territory they are treading” and him “it seemed something beautiful”.

for this album, as I did with the previous two, has worked again with Raúl Santos, also known as SupercineXcene, “it's more, Raúl has the 20 percent of disk, because it was he who wanted to get involved and make it his own”.

When Nawja started working on the album, and he assures that he takes it “very calmly”, He was coming from his first concert tour and had found that the “audience was left wanting to dance”. That's why he started writing dance songs, but in a short time “literally” he got fed up. He then asked his record company DRO to introduce him to a “great guitarist, but the Spanish guitar ones”. This is how Víctor Iniesta arrived, from the Elbicho group, with whom he ended up making two songs, ‘I’ll wait for us’ y ‘Sexy light’.

Then he decided to record with the London Session Orchestra, because “I needed violins”, and he got it too. The result is a disc that “It has both acoustic and electronic”, something that some have ventured to classify as “folkelectronic”, although she assures that she knows little about folk. “Soul is more on my wavelength”, states. “The idea is that all these songs are transformed live and are more danceable.”.

Regarding the texts, “There is a war song and another we could talk about spiritual, but the rest has to do” with what she “would like to do it on a Sunday afternoon, like sex, light and heat. In summary, the daily routine of a day when you are at home and at the same time you want to be outside”.

Short but successful career

‘Walkabout’, follow ‘Carefully‘, a disk with which Najwa Nimri made his solo debut in 2001, y a ‘Mayday‘, his second album and the first one he took to concerts.
