  • Saudi-Born, Los Angeles-Based Singer-Songwriter Tamtam to Release New Music Video “Rise” Written and Directed by Award-Winni
    For Immediate Release Media Relations Wednesday, August 15, 2018 Lyn Winter, Inc. +1 213 446 0788 Contact: Livia Mandoul, [email protected] Saudi-born, Los Angeles-based singer-songwriter Tamtam to release new music video “Rise” written and directed by award-winning Saudi filmmaker Meshal Al jaser, addressing the subject of arranged marriage. Los Angeles, CA– On September 19, 2018, Saudi-born singer-songwriter Tamtam will release the music video for "Rise", her third single in 2018, which comes on the heels of the acclaimed video for her second single "Drive", an event that coincided with the passing of new laws allowing women to drive for the first time in Saudi Arabia. The “Rise” video was written and directed by Saudi-born, LA-based writer, actor and director Meshal Al jaser, who first worked with Tamtam when he cast her as the older sister in his award-winning 2017 short film, Under Concrete, which tells the story of a Syrian girl trapped under the rubble of her home in the wake of a bombing. "We started working together and discovered this chemistry," says Al jaser, who was given the lyrics to Tamtam's song—“Started at eleven I would look up at the heavens and cry/Told me not to think ahead/I was lying in my bed, wondering why/I would never listen, no I had a vision it’s true/And I knew/There’s nothing that I can’t do”—and translated this moody meditation about rising above the haters attempting to thwart her musical aspirations into an exploration of arranged marriages shot in the desert north of Los Angeles.

    Content Toolkit 1 Visit Saudi Content Toolkit December 2020 VisitSaudi.com Content Toolkit 2 This is your ‘Welcome to Arabia’ content toolkit. The purpose of this toolkit is to provide you with information, images and video to give you the support needed to create beautiful, inspiring, consistent content to promote Saudi as a destination around the world. The contents of this toolkit can be used to create powerful communications across print, social and online formats. Content Toolkit 3 A word from our CCO Dear Friends and Partners of the Saudi Tourism Authority, Saudi is the most exciting travel destination in the market today. Largely unexplored by international leisure visitors, Saudi is the true home of Arabia – a land rich in culture, heritage, mystique and romance. A land of adventure and unparalleled hospitality. Saudi is a study in contrasts. From Al Jouf in the north to Jazan in the south, you’ll find arid deserts and lush valleys, clear seas and rugged mountains, ancient archaeological sites and modern architecture, haute cuisine and street food. It is a country of natural beauty, great diversity and hidden treasures. Saudi’s tourism offering focuses on delivering authentically Arabian adventure, culture and heritage underpinned by remarkable hospitality. It is the Kingdom’s unique natural attributes and its authenticity as the home of Arabia that will attract and enthrall travelers. Saudi opened its doors and hearts to the world of leisure tourism in September 2019 with the launch of our tourism e-visa service. And before the global ban on international travel is response to the coronavirus pandemic, it was the fastest growing tourist destination in the world, according to the World Travel & Tourism Council (WTTC) Economic Impact Report.
