I particularly liked a song she refferrred to as a prayer song.

She played 6 songs I think, all very different, which made it a little hard to grasp her repertoire. Obviously a very versatile person.
NEeMA is of Egyptian and Lebanese descent, sang an Egyptian song too. She also took the trouble to speak a few lines in Dutch, which went well with the crowd in De Melkweg.

NEeMA first arrived on the scene with her 2006 debut album Masi Cho, which was nominated for a MIMI (Montreal International Music Initiative) in the World & Roots category. Since then, NEeMA has toured Canada, Ireland, Australia, England and the U.S. In the summer of 2007 alone, she performed more than 33 concerts, including Nova Scotia’s Privateer Days Festival and the South Country Fair Festival in Alberta. Other highlights include her 2008 concert at the Electric Picnic Festival in Ireland, the 2008 Winterfolk Festival in Toronto and Canadian Music Week, and sold-out shows at the Montreal International Jazz Festival in both 2009 and 2010. Over the past year, NEeMA has toured Canada and the US extensively, with highlights including performances at SXSW and the National Folk Alliance Showcase.
