Space Cake

by Mama Hope

Mama Hope is the contemporary nu-R&B group formed by Amal Harbaoui and Lucio Cavallari, both Italian born. They draw inspiration from a diverse array of musical genres and styles, both ancient and contemporary. The name Mama Hope represents the idea that make-believe love is real love, the fusion of maternal love and hope that inspires altruism. Their music flows through dreamlike landscapes and atmospheric passages, incorporating electrical stimuli that touch the heart and soul. Amal’s soulful vocals take center stage, sometimes doubling or echoing to create a deep, powerful impact. Mama Hope’s musical influences include artists such as Hindi Zahra, Selah Sue, Y’Akoto, Fiona Apple, Miss Li, Liz Green, and Erykah Badu.
