Casa is Ouidad’s heartfelt postcard from her North African roots to her new life across the sea. Singing partly in French, she paints vivid images of olive groves, bustling alleyways, and the warm scent of Casablanca’s casbah, then contrasts them with the unfamiliar streets where “le soleil d’ici est éteint” – the sun here feels dim. The song captures that bittersweet moment when you leave home to chase bigger dreams, yet tuck its memories into your suitcase so they can light the way ahead.
Underneath the gentle melody lies a universal message: we all carry the place where our story began. Whether it is the henna on her palms or the wind over desert sand, Ouidad shows that identity travels with us, comforting and empowering us while we grow. Casa invites listeners to celebrate their own origins, remember the smiles that shaped them, and recognize that every new chapter is written with ink from the past.
