To our ears, her one-syllable name sounds like a key–note. Zine grew up in Morocco in her earlie years and then, in the South of France, in the Occitan speaking area. Now she mingles her twin origins while including the rest of the world. Her songs are a mixture of humour, irony and cynicism and she juggles with words in French or in the Occitan language. Her songs are a quest to find a universal understanding whichrefuses the established ideas and they invite us to respect life, our planet, women and children. Inher music, she pushes us to follow her in her journeys, in the past and in the present time, all around the Mediterranean Sea, through Central Europe and South America: she invites us to wander on her nomad roads. Zine offers us a musical, international-rooted mosaic.
Now, Zine has worked her songs with her friend Benoît Seyrat, who founded LAQM : Les Arbres Qui Marchent some years ago. It is a electronic musical group project, carried out in a music studio, with several musicians playing their instruments. He mixes computer sounds with instrumental music. He explains : “ As a musician I think of taking part to an entity : music doesn't belong to anyone, it is offered to any musical lover who is able to hear it. I like meeting different people and playing with various musicians who can hear what music proposes, putting aside their first musical influences. Those musicians know how to adapt themselves but also to propose new ways and that is essential to me. Exchanging allows opening up, loosing control and leaving a chance to improvisation, to improbability and that's what I want with this sort of music.”.
