MAZAGAN

Precursors of the chaâbi-groove style, a mixture of urban and rural song, MAZAGAN have revolutionized the popular music of Morocco incorporating reggae, ragga, chaâbi, rock, Andalusia music, jazz, funk, zook, salsa... MAZAGAN is the image of the majority of Moroccan youth, who identify themselves with their musical and cultural heritage but who at the same time are permeable to all kinds of suggestions.

Their second work consolidated them as an obligatory reference group on the Moroccan scene, and they already now presenting the third.
