„Although my songs do not all bear a religious acquisition, I think that the inspiration to write and the gift to sing are the most beautiful presents life could give me.“
As far back as she can remember music has always been a part of her life. Mariama would sing and dance for her family later on in the school choir and in musical groups. When as a teenager she found her mothers old guitar at her grandparents' house she began learning to play it and soon started writing songs. It is still that old guitar she writes most of her songs with.
Mariamas sight of affairs are also reflected in her songs. Center of the songs are the manifold senses and life situations. joy, melancholy or pain, loving or desperation, her own story or the one of others- everything finds its place in her songs, which are always borne by her vocals and her guitarplay.
„This music could be charcterized as acoustic soul, at least I think that this matches best at the moment. Its always difficult for me to define myself personal, as well as musical. The way I like to listen to different styles of music in different moods, that’s how each one of my songs arise from a different moment and a different feeling.“
In the meantime Mariama has accured enough of these personal feelings and snap-shots for a whole album and is ready to permute this.
“I think it will be a musical journey on which me and my listeners will be taken... from acoustic sounds to deep productions. It’s an open road!“

There Is a Place
Mariama Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
you'rs not the only one
and you may find yourself saying if only
this life had never begun
now don't give up
you'll live to see better days
and don't give in cause in time you'll
find your way
there is a place where you'll find love and rest
and there is music to the rhythm of your chest
there is a place that you can call your own
and if you need to rest you'll surely find a home
at times the world may seem grey and shady
all colours faded away
you toss and turn at night thinking that maybe
there'll never be a new day
but when the tide is high the seasons will change again
and lonely nights will turn into day my friend
there is a place where you'll find love and rest
and there is music to the rhythm of your chest
there is a place that you can call your own
and if you need to rest you'll surely find a home
now don't you worry baby
it's gonna be alright
and don't you worry darling
we're gonna be just fine cause:
there is a place where you'll find love and rest
and there is music to the rhythm of your chest
there is a place that you can call your own
and if you need to rest you'll surely find a home
