Simona has Pakistani roots, and she is one of only few women in the world that master the Arabic percussion – the darbuka. Despite the male dominance on the scene it is Simona’s ambition to leave her personal mark on the world of the darbuka. She also wants to unite Western pop music and Arabic rhythms, and in spite of the hostile attitude from many men in the business Simona won’t give up the fight for her take on the music and the release of her solo album.
