DUNIA represents a bold fusion of sounds and styles. The project’s name, meaning “Woman” or “Mother” in some archaic cultures, reflects its exploration of universal themes through music. Sigura’s oud adapts to an electric context, creating a unique soundscape that blends jazz, fusion, Middle Eastern music, rock, and psychedelic elements.
The album seeks to bridge the gap between the particular and the universal, offering clear, incisive melodies set against a rich, layered sonic backdrop. This approach results in a sound that is both accessible and profoundly complex, inviting listeners to discover new depths with each listening.

"...It is wonderful to hear these lovely Mediterranean-styled melodies woven so deeply into a jazz fabric, and done so convincingly. This is such a rich area to explore and the world is increasingly thirsty for interesting music of such integrity. What a marvellous group of musicians too..."John Fenton (NZL) - Jazz journalist at JazzLocal32.com. Videographer and photographer and professional member of the Jazz Journalists Association
