Is PROMISE a song? Or is it an incantation, a wish I have for you, for me, for us? A hope maybe, that it is possible, to create a place within and for ourselves which is so unshakably soft and compassionate that we always feel safe and loved there? A place where we can rest and resource when we try to transition from heaviness to lightness, but also the other way round? Is this a promise we can give to ourselves first? Listen and tell me how you feel about PROMISE and remember - sharing is caring: ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ Voice and acoustic guitar written, composed and recorded by @listento_mariama Drums, electric guitar, percussions played and recorded by @manuschlindwein Bass: @shanicerubybennett Mixing and mastering: @manuschlindwein Video Direction and Production: @creative.whitneykiala @lsnstudio_ Video: @smodicted Photo:@bodisamba @lsnstudio_ Styling: @creative.whitneykiala @lsnstudio_ Hair : @luciabinta @hairbyluciabinta Make Up: @cagla_yetiser . . . . #songoftheday #mariama #new #song #lyrics #listennow #release #promise #singer #songwriter #folk #pop #soul #andmore #newmusicalert #nothingbutloveforyouhere #outnow #listento_mariama #music #blackgirlmagic #womeninmusic #musicwomengermany #blackwomeninmusic #explorepage #algorithm

After all this time in Paris - stepping out of my comfort zone. If you wonder what I’m saying, here’s a translation: Come on, let’s go to the very end of our ideas At random we take a step forward on an enchanted melody Fixed and floating The day will know how to find us again And before the sky crumbles upon us We dream of what’s left when we’ve seen it all moves and vibes: @1pia_officiels shot by 📹: @maosidibeofficiel styled by 👗💄 : @swagbygria edit 🎞️: @alextourstress Filmed in Dakar 🇸🇳 🎸 @real_lyfe synth/arrangements 🎹 @myaaudreymusic rec/mix/master 🪄🧙🏻‍♂️ @_manu_studios_ #new #song #bonheur #happiness #mariama #habamabrothers #songwriter #singer #live #berlin #dakar #berlinmusic #connecting #blackgirlmagic #musiclife #nomad #travellingsoul #afrofusion #MusicIsLife #MusicLover #NowPlaying #MusicAddict #MusicDiscovery#MusicRecommendation #MusicInspiration #melaninmagic

Last November on stage feels like a lifetime ago. The friendsgiving by @bswcberlin , @jamericanfood and @theincredibleedibleakynos is one of my last lovely memories shortly before health became the only thing that mattered for a long while. Practicing patience, I give thanks for being here and will be making my way back soon…but slowly. 🌱 📸 @nila.in.berlin

With this final post, I can confirm that there are at least 100 professional African, Afro-diasporic, Black musicians living & working in Germany. At least - meaning there are many more! /Part 6 I started the Independent Black Musicians Living in Berlin & Germany series not only to honor Black History Month, but to push for real inclusivity and accountability in the German music ecosystem. This work is based on independent research, care, and unpaid labor, now openly shared with musicians, institutions, festivals, programmers, venues, & funders. A wishlist for 2026 and beyond: • Long-term programming instead of one-off representation • Fair and transparent pay • MORE Black professionals in juries, curation & decision-making across all initiatives and genres • Investment in sustainable infrastructure, not visibility alone • Trust-based funding for community-led initiatives Take action: Follow the artists. Go to their concerts. Stream, share, and buy on Bandcamp. Book them. Collaborate. Support beyond BHM. Please keep liking, saving, sharing, reposting, and commenting. Tag other Black musicians living and producing in Germany so this can continue to grow. Contrary to popular belief, the community is here & deserves to be sustainably held, like everyone else. And who knows, with institutional support and funding, this could be the start of something beautiful, accessible & long overdue. 🖤✊🏾 Adama @adama.jllh Fama M’Boup @fama_olivia Grace Kelly @houseofgrace____ Dr. Harald Kisiedu Ingrid Arthur @theeingridarthur Ixa @ixa_psyborg Jan Burkamp @janburkamp Kelvin Sholar @klsholar Leila Akinyi @leila_akinyi Marbelite @marbiemusique Mariama @mari.ama____ Milaa @milaamusic Mirta @mirta_live Naiyango @naiyango_is_music Nomi @dj__nomi Valerie Hartling @valeriehartling Val Renay @val_renay Tamika @tamika.music Toshín @toshin_music “Independent” refers to artists who largely sustain their work through their own labor and resources, even when collaborating with smaller partners.

Opening event for @reeperbahn_festival was a blast, but more than that it was an honour and a delight to be surrounded by so many beautiful, magical sisters. Thank you @onejiru for bringing us all together. Can’t wait to see where we will meet again. 🥰 May this just be the beginning. The Time Is Now is a @futurefemaleafrica anthem for visibility, solidarity, empowerment & for advocating Menstrual Health and Hygiene through Future Female’s Push the Red Button - Activate Change campaign. Featuring @femi_one @mach.platz @onejiru @mayonde @annabassy @nicole_hadfield @sheebahricherthisyear & @missleema And the outfit from @tata_nuo runway collection was a perfect fit, representing another queen and creative force from the diaspora. 🙏🏽✨ . . . . . #new #thetimeisnow #onejiru #femione #sheeba #mayonde #nicolehadfield #diep #machplatz #mariama #annabassy #futurefemaleafrica #singer #connecting #kenia #uganda #berlin #afrodiaspora #blackgirlmagic #musiclife #afrofusion #MusicIsLife #reeperbahnfestival #MusicLover #NowPlaying #MusicAddict #MusicDiscovery #MusicRecommendation #MusicInspiration #melaninmagic

Another trip around the sun. Little me still has some dreams to chase. 🤍✨☀️🌍🪐 Aduna welaa fi, but we don’t look like our problems. Counting my blessings and the many reasons to be grateful. Thank you mama. 🙏🏽 #happybirthdaytome🎉

This picture of our dear friend @mari.ama____ was taken last year, and while the skirt she’s wearing has already sold out in this color, it’s still a part of our upcycling label. ✨ Each piece is made in limited numbers, usually no more than five per color which makes them truly special. At the moment, we have other beautiful colors and fabrics available, as you can see in the last image. If you’d like to explore them in person, come by our studio in Neukölln 💚”

MARIAMA (@mari.ama____ ) über Zahlen im Musikbusiness: „Persönlich stehe ich dem Thema sehr ambivalent gegenüber. Gerade wenn es um Streams, Klicks und Algorithmen geht. Einerseits haben Artists heute mehr Kontrolle, mehr Einblick und können sich viel mehr selbst sichtbar machen. Andererseits gibt es eben auch Millionen andere, die den Algorithmus füttern, nicht nur mit Musik. Dazu find ich “viral gehen” an sich kein motivierendes Ziel, aus künstlerischer Sicht. Ich beschäftige mich schon damit, wie ich Plattformen nutzen kann und was Zahlen für meinen Lebensunterhalt bedeuten, aber will eigentlich nicht auch noch Vollzeit Influencerin sein müssen um Musik machen zu können.“ 🔎 Mariama ist eine Künstlerin, Singer Songwriterin, Poetin, Kuratorin und Moderatorin, deren Arbeit eine Reise durch Kontinente und Traditionen widerspiegelt. Mit familiären und kulturellen Bindungen, die Deutschland, Frankreich, Norwegen, die Tschechische Republik, Sierra Leone und Guinea umspannen, umfasst sie eine vielfältige Klangpalette, die Folk, Soul, Pop und Beats mit westafrikanischen Rhythmen und Instrumenten mischt. Über Zahlen und die damit zusammenhängenden „Big Player“ sagt die Künstlerin weiter: „Außerdem haben uns diese Plattformen die so unumgänglich erscheinen, auch in der Hand. Wenn man bedenkt, dass die Streaming Plattform mit dem größten Marktanteil in Deutschland nun KI Musik in Playlists packt um mehr Geld zu verdienen und dann deren CEO in Rüstungsindustrie investiert, frag ich mich eher was es für ethische Alternativen geben kann, wo Artists auch fair entlohnt werden.“ 🗣️ Abschließend kündigt Mariama noch an, worauf sie ihre Fans jetzt freuen können: „Die Single E.A.B. kann man aktuell überall hören und in den kommenden Monaten werden Stück für Stück Songs meines neuen Albums SALT veröffentlicht.“ ❤️ #mariama #talk #newcomer #magazin #musikmagazin #KICKDRUM 📸 @creative.whitneykiala / @caryshuws / @cvw.studio
