about

Laïla Amezian and Laurent Blondiau gather 18 top vocalists and musicians from very different horizons to create a contemporary musical performance. Reinterpreting the traditions of the Ghanayats and Shikhats, female musicians who fought for freedom of expression in Morocco at the end of the 19th century, this joyful band offers an explosive chaabi groove with enchanting vocals and breathtaking brass instruments.
