00:00Welcome to MEDIEN TV, you have just listened to the London singer,
00:29Ale Ouya, born in Saudi Arabia, from an Egyptian father raised in Sudan and from an Ethiopian mother.
00:36But it was in London, after leaving Saudi Arabia, that she forged a musical education
00:42between the exported sound of Ethiopian and Arab religious music from her parents
00:49and by the vibrations coming from her brother's bedroom.
00:54Between the sound of her father's koran in the morning, her mother's Ethiopian music
01:00and her brother's alternative rock music, Ale Ouya forged a very unique musical imprint.
01:08I suggest you listen to it.
01:11My parents had no relationship with music.
01:14They simply sang what they knew.
01:17For my mother, it was European music.
01:21And my father, Arabic melodies.
01:23Above all, my older brother was more into experimental music.
01:29And I am convinced that if it were not thanks to my brother,
01:34I believe that I would never have integrated the world of song and music.
01:53Groove, grunge, or soul, Ale Ouya does not lock herself in a genre.
02:09When asked who her music is addressed to, she responds like a sage addressing her disciple to whom it is open.
02:17But more especially, I would like to reach the people who have lost themselves and are looking for themselves.
02:22Because her music is like a prayer or a difficult incantation to leave her.
02:28Eyes that appear like a body welcoming the vibrations of the moment to transcribe them into music.
02:35I suggest you listen to it.
02:37It's one of those things, isn't it? Like, you're just... I'm just African, so...
02:41My origins are what they are.
02:43It's that I'm mostly African.
02:45Whatever my origins are, it's simply in my DNA.
02:50It means that everything I do with my music is natural.
02:54I'm not trying to modify or transform my sounds.
02:57I'm not trying to westernize my productions.
03:01Nothing is done at home.
03:02And the only effort I make is to follow this natural path.
03:07I always bring my tribal essence to everything I do.
03:20It's dread now. Yeah, it's dread now.
03:24Like it's in the crack that's been washed out.
03:28You're gonna get down.
03:31But all you see when you're so baby.
03:34Oh, you want someone to blame.
03:37But the seed is the one you sow.
03:39And in the space of a few songs like Sweetin, more than 2 million views
03:44and a collaboration with the rapper Lettel Smith,
03:47Aleuia, a 25-year-old Londoner with cosmopolitan origins,
03:51has been able to attract all the attention in the world.
03:54With his musical partner Moses Boyd,
03:56drummer, composer and producer from the young London jazz scene,
04:02he publishes hits in, for example, Code.
04:05So here is a raw talent multiplying the strings in his bow
04:10and blowing a wind of freedom on the London groove scene.
04:14I suggest you listen to Aleuia again.
04:18Before creating any note, any sound, I try to focus.
04:24I take everything that comes to mind.
04:27I follow the path of creation.
04:29And little by little, the structure is put in place.
04:33Then the arrangements begin.
04:35The lyrics of the song really come after all this process.
04:41And it's really like putting order in my mind.
04:44Cleaning up the mess.
04:46Thank you, dear viewers, for your loyalty.
04:49The information continues on our different channels.
