The album reached Number 1 on the World Music Charts Europe (WMCE) on March 2010. "Shouka", the central song that titles the album, is a new experience in the Sahrawi music, as it is structured as a cantata. Taking the verses of Sahrawi poet Lamine Allal, Hassan developed a nine paragraph critical response to the 1976 speech of then Spanish opposition leader and later president of Spain Felipe González at the Sahrawi refugee camps (he compromised Spanish Socialist Workers' Party support to the Sahrawi people until "the final victory"), by using all scales and rhythms of the Haul. In this work, Mariem's group is completed with Lamgaifri Brahim (lead guitar) and Vadiya Mint El Hanevi (tbal, choruses and dances). Several other musicians contributed to the album, as Senegalese Malick Diaw (guitar), Spanish Kepa Osés (bass), Hugo Westerdahl (bass), Josemi Sánchez (guitar) and Jaime Muñoz (flutes), Iranian Behnam Samani (daf & tombak) and Davood Varzideh (ney), and Cuban-Haitian Mel Seme (percusionist).
