Aman (peace of the soul) is Nawal’s second full-length album. A self-produced artist, Nawal’s powerful voice and message are as engaging as ever. An acoustic roots-based fusion, Nawal’s unique sound combines influences from her native islands Comoros and far beyond. Her music is insightful, rebellious and compassionate, and steeped in the light of her Sufi ancestry. Each song its own universe – Aman is an invitation to dance, dream, meditate and soar over the Indian Ocean.”

Lyrics

NAWAL "KWELI" (truth)

"Nawal proves herself nothing short of a legend in the making."
GLOBAL RHYTHM Magazine, Jill Ettinger, 06/06 

"The album (Kweli) makes an impressive international debut. Nawal may be new to us, but this kind of maturity and integrity was clearly many years in the making."
AFROPOP Magazine, Banning Eyre, Dec 2005
