Recently featured in The Washington Post, Seera is breaking boundaries and expressing female empowerment through their unique sound. This all-female Saudi band blends classic Arabic melodies with psychedelic rock, creating a distinctive musical experience that resonates both locally and internationally.

Newfound freedom for women to express their voices

As Saudi Arabia continues to liberalize aspects of its society, Seera represents the newfound freedom for women to find and express their voices. “We didn’t know how people would react,” said Meesh, the bassist, who, like other members, prefers to be identified by their stage names. The band’s name, which means “life” or “biography” in Arabic, encapsulates their journey and the stories they aim to tell through their music.

The life experiences of its four members have inspired their music

Seera’s music is deeply rooted in the life experiences of its four members, each bringing a unique perspective to their collective sound. They are quick to acknowledge that they are not the first female band in the Kingdom but emphasize their commitment to pushing the envelope in a traditionally male-dominated industry. With plans to release their debut album later this year, Seera is poised to make a significant impact on the music scene.

Seera is now making waves internationally

Their rise to fame is further underscored by their booking for their first international concert in Dubai, marking a significant milestone in their career. As they continue to make waves, Seera is not only redefining the music landscape in Saudi Arabia but also inspiring a new generation of female musicians. Their journey is a testament to the changing dynamics in the kingdom, highlighting the powerful role of music in driving cultural and social change.
