| Hasna el Becharia: The guembri and I have a bit of history. |
|
| Hasna composed the major part of the recorded songs in France. |

|
| Recorded among the dunes of the Sahara, Smaa Smaa is the second album from Algerian singer and musician Hasna El Becharia, who continues to meld her native Gnawa music with more current sounds. |
