Qumaru

"Triumph" - is the new release from Qumaru.
"Triumph" - is a celebration of her life's journey that began in High Wycombe, Buckinghamshire, U.K. and has landed her in Beverly Hills where she has made her home for the last 10 years. Like her life "Triumph" has been influenced by not only the great artists of yesterday and today but also by the great and not so great events that she has experienced.
"I believe there's a reason why I was born and raised a Pakistani Muslim woman in a Western world. Perhaps to empower women to believe in themselves, to learn to love life and to embrace all of our gifts. It is common knowledge that women of my heritage have been severely oppressed..........................................."
Unlike a lot of music you hear today, "Triumph" is a story with a beginning, middle and an end.
"It began with me recording just my voice for my friend and producer Jimi Randolph. He wanted to hear these chapters of my life so he could get a feel for the songs we were about to write. Within days we knew exactly where we were going. Those words I spoke to him inspired the music that in turn inspired my lyrics. With instruments like tabla, sitar, drums and a lot of guitars I think our style is kind of unique and definitely not Top 40 or Hip Hop. Jimi says it's Rocker-ish, Electronica-ish, Funky, Soul Folk music. I say it's just me!
