About
Ÿuma is a Tunisian global and alternative music duo, consisting of Chupee Do and Ramy Zoghlemi. Their collaboration is rooted in a deep friendship and a shared passion for blending genres such as folk, rock, trip hop, and global sounds.
Ÿuma’s debut album, Chura, released in March 2016, showcases this eclectic mix and features "Smek" as one of its standout tracks. Characterized by delicate and rough textures, the song blends traditional Tunisian influences with modern alternative tunes. Chupee and Ramy’s songwriting often explores strength and vulnerability. In Smek, they tell stories of (be)longing and nostalgia for trusted spaces at home, in their neighbourhoods, missing the smells of jasmin.
Rey&Kjavik, who is joining us this summer, released a downtempo remix of Smek back in 2017; in 2021, Ricardo Villalobos produced a remix with his idiosyncratic style.
For those of you who have been with us since day one, you’ll remember Ÿuma to be feautured on our playlists and stories. We are incredibly happy that the duo will join us this summer!
