Moroccan singer Dounia Batma performed a concert at Mazagan Beach Resort in El Jadida city, Morocco. The concert was held on Saturday night, after she finished shooting an episode of "A guest in our house" TV program which was aired on Dubai channel.
Batma has made Umrah during the first week of this month, as she published some photo of her on Facebook wearing Gulf cloak. Batma prepares now for launching her duet song with Moroccan singer Douzi. The vido clip of the new song was shot in Sri Lanka, and it was produced by Mohamed Al Turk, Batma's husband.
Dounia Batma is a Moroccan singer who rose to popularity around the world as the runner-up of the first season of Arab Idol (the Arabic version of Pop Idol) on MBC. She lost the title against Egyptian contestant Carmen Suleiman. She married Mohamed Al Turk the father of Bahrain's famous singer Hala Al Turke.
Batma was born and raised in Hay Mohammedi, in the Ain Sebaa-Hay Mohammedi district of Casablanca, Morocco. Her father Hamid Batma played for different bands including Mesnawa and Nass El Ghiwane, and her uncle, Laarbi Batma, is the leader of Moroccan fusion group Nass El Ghiwane, considered by Martin Scorsese as "Africa's Rolling Stones".
She studied tourism after high-school, without stopping to dream about a musical career. In 2010, at the age of 18, she took part in a Moroccan musical competition, called Studio 2M, broadcast on 2M TV, in the Oriental category. She sang various songs of both Moroccan and Middle-Eastern repertoires, and reached the semi-finals. Even if she didn't reach the final, she managed to release a single "Aalash Tgheeb" (Why are you hiding?) in Moroccan Arabic which didn't become very successful. But she realized that she would need to go further to get the career she was expecting and Arab Idol was a great venue to reach the Arab World heart.
