Young Moroccans dance to hip hop beats
2007-06-08
Many Moroccan youths use hip hop and rap to express themselves and talk about issues that matter to them.
By Imane Belhaj for Magharebia in Casablanca—08/06/07
 [Imane Belhaj] Despite the abundant criticism they receive, hip hop groups continue to appeal to many young people. |
Young Moroccans are captivated by a new genre of music-- a mix of East and West combining Arab, French and even English slang with hip hop and rap musical cultures. Although not unique to Morocco, this highly influential form of cultural expression, which often combines dance and athletic movements, requires special talent that many Moroccan youths have mastered with great enthusiasm and technique. In fact, they have reinvented it by giving it a Gnawan, Issawan, or Moroccan folk flavour, turning it into a local product.
Bigg or "Al-Khasir ("Loser"), as he is known in Morocco, is one of the young stars on Morocco's hip hop scene. He says that this new genre is a product of globalisation. On a recent television appearance, he responded to criticism of his lyrics, which some people consider to be vulgar and in poor taste. "I'm not asking anyone to listen to me. It’s people, young folks especially, who are the ones asking to listen to me," said Bigg. "Likewise I’m not forcing anyone to buy my tracks which can be found in the market, but I find that they're in great demand... I don't go to them, they come to me…"
Bigg is so popular that some politicians have asked him to perform at their rallies. He performed at a rally of the biggest political party in Morocco, the Socialist Union of Popular Forces, which is part of the governing majority. Bigg has expressed his readiness to perform at any event, whoever the organisers are, so long as he does not change his lyrics, the way he performs them or his style of clothing.
Many rap and hip hop groups carry peculiar names such as Darga, Hoba Hoba Spirit, H-Kayne, K-Fash, Fnaire and others. They provide a welcome diversion for young people, and an opportunity for political parties to attract young voters.
A young fan of these groups, Farid Naji, does not mind who organises these events. "It doesn’t mean I go to hip hop nights just because I'm a fan of those who organise them," he told Magharebia. "It's an hour of entertainment with friends. We dance to crazy beats and it doesn’t matter to us who organises the event and their political affiliation...we know that there are objectives behind it, but we pay no attention to that so long as we can enjoy our favourite performer."
Naji and his friends never miss Le Boulevard des Jeunes Musiciens festival, and plan to attend it in June and dance until dawn. "This is our right, as we’ve never once criticised anyone else’s taste, and we won’t let anyone criticise ours so long as we’re not hurting anybody," said Naji.
The Boulevard festival is the largest of its kind and brings together young musicians in the city of Casablanca, not on the basis of fame or renown, but on the basis of creative ability and competition.
Nouamen Lahlou, a traditional Moroccan recording artist who sang the well-known song "Amana Aleik Ya Maghreb", explained that interest in hip hop and rap comes from the young generation's desire to express itself, just as previous generations have done. Lahlou said that during a concert he performed with Bigg, "one hundred percent of the audience who attended the concert came to see Bigg and not me".
Analysts think that young Moroccans, like other young people around the world, have been able to imitate this new culture with remarkable speed. Hip hop's roots are primarily American and in it, Moroccans find freedom of expression and values such as individual freedom, tolerance and peace.
 Some feel that Le Boulevard initiative is a means to safeguard young people from negative influences. |
Khalid Raoudi, 16, spends his free time with friends writing and arranging lyrics to rap and hip hop rhythms, hoping that some day they will become a group. For the time being, however, it is just a hobby. "We don’t want booming sermons with big words that are difficult to understand… Instead we want to call things by their real names, and talk about nationalism, unemployment, the high cost of living and emigration, in the simplest way which can reach our people, and music is simply a way to express and convey our message to the world that we are capable of giving and creating."
This new style of music is often criticised by the older generation of Moroccans.
Mohammed Nougia, a father of two boys with rap and hip hop fever, typifies his generation. "Actually, I’m slightly concerned about the music that my boys enjoy, as I find it loud and tasteless. I ask myself why they don’t have any artistic sensibility, and whether this preference will have an effect on their personalities in the future. But I soon find myself accepting the matter because this is their generation and the young musicians are the same age, so it won’t do any harm to give our blessing to this talent and creativity."
During a television talk show, musician Omar Essayed, a member of the popular Nass El Ghiwane group, mentioned that the group had faced similar criticisms when it first began. Those older than them did not approve of an alternative to peaceful classical music and they found fault with the kind of clothes and hairstyles they sported, but the young people of that era imitated and loved them.
Musician Hassan Megri admits that "these trends have a right to exist, since they are an expression of young people’s feelings and expectations, especially as this social grouping has no songs which it cares for." He also said "young people felt the need to find a style of music through which to say how and what they are, and to make their cries heard through songs they understand." However, Megri also stressed the importance of choosing appropriate song lyrics which fit into Moroccan culture which is known for its conservative traditions.
What redeems these rap and hip hop musicians in the eyes of their critics is their attachment to their Moroccan identity and their sense of patriotism. Take for instance Bigg, who sings "Moroccans until Death" in which he says "Whoever oppresses my country, we’ll oppress him, whoever wishes ill on it, ill upon him," meaning that Moroccans show affection to those who love them, but hold in contempt anyone who hates their country. The H-Kayne group rap song "We are all Moroccans," refers to the musical, ideological and political differences which divide citizens, who are nevertheless united through their Moroccan-ness. These groups also redeem themselves through their criticism of trends which are destructive to society and harmful to youth. Fnaire's famous song "Al-mshisha" condemns young people’s addiction to shisha pipes mixed with drugs.
Younis Samih, a member of the K-Fash group which derives its style from Nass El Ghiwane, sums it up best. "Our song lyrics are not degenerate but are responsible, because we want clean rap through which to express our perception of reality and the extent of our preoccupation with the our society's issues. It also conveys our rejection of terrorism which is the subject of the hour."

To me, rap music is wonderful. When I go to Souk, the first thing I look for is albums by rappers, especially by Bigg, H_Kayne, Fnair, Steph Sultan. Rap is a truly beautiful music.

Though I'm a young girl, I consider the Hip Hop silly, this doesn't mean that I don't respect art, but I'm with objective and constructive art and not chaotic and misleading. I hope you'll respect my opinion.

Your songs are very nice
moutassim Posted 2007-07-01
Real Hip Hop is wonderful, but now in the States you have something that is called Hip Hop and is not. In the '80's and '90's that's when it was hot. Now this so called want to be Hip Hope degrades women, particulary Black women and glorifies "thug life" and prison life. I hope that these Moroccan musicians of "hip-hop" continue to rap about real issues and uplift the people in a positive way, because that is what real Hip-Hop is all about.
fatima zahra Posted 2007-07-03
I love so much the group Fnaire and H-kayne, I hope that you'll show interest for the rap style as it's very very good, for me I find tranquility in the rap style and I also like Bigg
hicham Posted 2007-07-08
I thank the sister very much for her article, and I'm sorry about those who talked badly about the rap music, I tell them the issue is greater than you like it or hate it. If you deeply consider the words of rap music, you'll find that it deals with the suffering of young people, tackles your problems and uncovers the faces hidden behind false masks... That's why I address an advice to my brothers to wake up as you're in a deep sleep ... your brother who loves his country to the bone, (Moroccans till death).

I personally love Hip-Hop. This is an art and not sordidness as you say. On the contrary, it’s a nice art, you have to respect it. When you are listening to the hip-hop and consider the words, you’ll find out that they’re talking about something important. They sing for example about terrorism or something like that. You don’t consider the words, you just listen to the music, that’s why you say that the art of hip hop is sordid while it’s the opposite. Sincerely yours.

Hip-Hop is music for young people. I personally like it, I have listened to it since I was 7 years old. Maybe I am young (12) but I’m an expert in this music and I like (big) (h-kayen) (kalibre) (muslem) (2pac) (notoryos) (puff daddy)(booba) (akon) (snoop dogg) (jay-z) (nas) (50 cent) (the game) (casa crew)(steph rega man) (ahmed soltan(azd) ( dj key) fnair.

The first hip hop group in Morocco Fnair, the first hip hop in Moroco Bahjaoui 100%, it's very clear, it's no longer American rap, it's Moroccan Marrakech rap.
المهدي خالد Posted 2007-12-14
I think that there’s no problem with rap songs , and as they say, there are problems in the Moroccan society and rap talks about these problems with respects to the Moroccan people.
جيهان Posted 2007-12-16
I think that the hip hop is the best music for me- especially the music of Fnaire. I love it so much and I say it in the dialect: (God bless you Fnaire).

I am Youssef, a student in the first year of secondary. I sing rap but I found difficulties in recording my album. I am one of the best fans of band Kechla and I love his way of singing. I liked his last song, "the big dog". He is a real dog because he betrayed those who trusted him. He is a traitor of hip hop music. It is the words of the streets which deal in its topics with the issues and problems of young people. I am against those who criticize it. This is my phone number if you can offer help to my band.

اميمة Posted 2008-06-18
Concerning the songs called hip hop, they are focused on two bands. One is social and the second aren’t considered nice songs. It is Fnaire . I ask God for forgiveness and mercy for Hicham because they express the feelings of society. I love Fnaire and ask them to continue singing even though Hicham is joining God. From God we are and to Him we shall return.
mc -elma3ti Posted 2008-06-18
By God the Almighty, I swear that I also love Moroccan rap, especially Hamid Zahir who is famous for his song “Lala Fatima” in which he says ‘Lala Fatima, Lala, Fatima, by God just one word’. Salam.

I am Hamid the singer (bow wow mix). I love H-kayne more than Bigg, why? Because Bigg says many bad words and H-kayne is very clean without any indecencies. Fnaire forever, Bigg is the loser. He has a broken chord. Hahaha. I am Hamid. Bye. Thank you.

Salam. I am Amal from Agadir. I am 15. Honestly, this new style of the Moroccan young people today is a great style. A pure Moroccan hip hop. Honestly, as we see, Fnaire are trying to establish the Moroccan traditional rap. They have sincerely succeeded. I won’t thank just Fnaire. There are many groups in Morocco but it is production which is missing. I ask God to grant success to all the groups who have the same dreams. The Moroccan people are longing for music. Ok, thank you. I wish success to everyone.

I like Fnaire group very much. I hope to meet them when I go to Morocco, God willing. I wish to write them or suggest to them some ideas. By the way, I blame Morocco for failing to shed light on the Moroccan community in the Gulf and other places. They show interest only to Europe. This is unfortunate. You don’t shed light on other who aren’t Moroccans but have Moroccan mothers, I always say this. May God protect Mohamed VI, protect Mohamed VI, protect Moroccan and the Moroccan heritage. Salam.

ميدو Posted 2008-10-15
I want to mention something very important which astonished me. I was very surprised because I didn’t find the name of Moslem among the names of famous Maghreb rap singers. I want to know the cause. Is it because he isn’t known at all? Anyway, I also want to mention that he is the most famous Moroccan rap singer for the cities of Tangier and Tetouan. Everyone likes him and likes his songs. He is considered the best in the north. His songs are great. Every song has a great meaning. He sings about varied topics. He is one of the oldest Maghreb and Arab rap singers. Therefore, the reason for his lack of fame is still unclear to me.

ليلى فؤاد Posted 2008-11-25
Peace and mercy of God be upon you. I will share my opinion with you. For me, the most famous, greatest, oldest and best Arab rapper is undoubtedly Moslem from the city of Casablanca. We all know that he is the first artist who initiated rap in our country Morocco. He has a great popularity with his audience. (You’re great Moslem!) At least he does not dance as H-Kayne and other bands do. He is not a slave of money like Bigg or others. The best evidence is that we have never seen him on TV to this moment as he said to one of his friend. (I am not a seller of my voice and my art). Laila from Salé. My greetings.

Concerning Bigg, he is a good singer. He talks about the suffering of about 26 million young people. God willing, we will build our songs on this basis. j. ok.
hamza Posted 2008-12-31
Salam. My comment is the following. All rappers in Morocco are good. I say this because I heard them all. However, I prefer one because only a few people prefer him. I will tell you why, because when a person sits down to listen to rap, the first thing he hears is the rhythm. The second thing is the voice. But if you want to choose your best rapper, you must listen to the meaning born by the rap music. If you observe well, you will find Muslim the best rap singer. Try to listen to him sincerely and reply to me.
sara Posted 2009-01-16
To tell you the truth my brothers, rap is like water in my life. If I don’t listen to it, I have a headache. My eyes become misty. Now I practise this hobby. I would like to say therefore that the best band is Fnaire. I am Sara from Casablanca. Pride to Fnaire.

Honestly, I haven't read what's written but I love hip hop. I just wish to learn how to dance. I am just a visitor. Thank you.

I am a singer of what they call madness. I am the biggest producer of these songs, which are very bad.
ايمان Posted 2009-04-06
The hip hop is art, action and liveliness but most people love slow music.
ياسمينة Posted 2009-04-08
The best band is Fnaire. By the way, all Moroccans are welcome in Marrakech to attend the wedding of Yasmina and Mohsine.

Egypt is the first which sang Arabic rap in the Arab World and others imitated us.

Hi everyone. I am Simo from Saudi Arabia. But my native country is Morocco. As usual, pride to Morocco. I love Bigg to death. He is the best singer who gained fame in rap in a direct way. My advice, Bigg it is not just talking. I tell you my Moroccan brother, if you want to know you can listen to Bigg, the way they play is shameful, some kids as Bigg called, are meaningless, because the strong are always strong. We must avoid the problem of one not the son of the country, he won't understand us. “Bilal” the mind of Moroccan young people. As you know everything. Thank you.
Bazoooka Posted 2009-05-06
I like hip hop it is my best song
fati Posted 2009-05-13
Thank you so much. Fnaire is the best!

I love hip hop, its songs and dances. I can dance the hip hop.

Rap is a nice art. It deals with reality in which we live.
imane qui aime hip hop Posted 2009-06-07
I adore hip-hop music, but there are some groups that do not respect Moroccan taste. In general, I prefer Fnaire and some of Bigg's songs like "Ytoub Mgharba Talmout" and so on.

Rap, rap, rap. If a a crow comes to you, give it a bow. If two crows come to you give them two bows as you gave a bow to the crow a bow. Rap, rap, hip hop. Life is upside down. Marly Bob lied. They believe you, you believe them. They say lies. Rap, rap, hip hop with blogs of Maktoub, sites of youtubes, lies are over. Rap, rap, hip, hop, google, streets and streets. The complex of books includes thousands and thousands of books. Make a cause and look in inside of streets.
Rachidaaaaa Posted 2009-06-11
Rap forever.
abdelhake makaui Posted 2009-06-22
I love Bigg so much. When you hold the microphone, you should hold the Moroccan drop. Muslim was my friend and substituted him. Take care, this is my friend.
Happy Girl Posted 2009-07-07
I am one of the fans of the hip hop because its moves are fascinating.
fatima Posted 2009-07-13
I love rap music.
BEYluxe Posted 2009-07-15
Rap Morocco forever. Long live Don Bigg.
fatima Posted 2009-07-18
I like hip hop and thank H-Kayne, Bigg, Fnaire... I ask everyone concerned to help us in order to become like them. Thank you for the opportunity to express our opinions freely.
R-flow Posted 2009-07-19
Ok I am R-flow a.k.a Klam Lahloo (sweet words). R-flow is derived from my family name which begins with R. Ok Flow is a noun known by everyone.
amina Posted 2009-08-06
I am Amina. I die for Moroccan rap. I die for this genre. I write words and set them to music. I plan to set up a band which will make noise. My wish is to meet Fnaire, Bigg and H-Kayne.
ayoub Posted 2009-08-14
The best rap singer is Muslim. You should bring pride or go away.
abdellah Posted 2009-08-17
I like Moroccan rap so much because it is the style in which I am comfortable with. It talks about problems of young people. For me, Bigg is the best rap singer in Morocco because he has interesting songs.
لقناسيبالااب Posted 2009-08-18
Moroccan rap is very good. But no one can rival Lotfi Double Canon. I hope you will come to Jijel before the beginning of the school season.
mc anouar Posted 2009-08-19
I sing rap in my region in the same way as Bigg because I am proud of someone like Bigg.
anouar dj laayoune Posted 2009-08-20
Eh guys do you remember the day on which the plan was uncovered and the artist emerged in Derb Soultane and (unclear) spoke.
anouar Posted 2009-08-20
Casa Crew is the best.
anouar Posted 2009-08-22
Cheb Bilal is the best singer. Reda is a disgrace.
مغاربية Posted 2009-08-24
My son is mad about the hip hop, rac, or what they call it. He spends all day long singing with them. Whenever I watch something or what they call it, I ask him who he is, he says Bigg. May God protect young people today. Music is obsessing them.
viva fnaire Posted 2009-08-30
Pride to Fnaire.
نجية Posted 2009-09-24
I don't like this type of idle songs because they are imported from the west and aren't part of our culture. They are in no way associated to us.
Anonymous Posted 2009-10-07
I am Bm. I love rap music especially songs of Bigg. They are great. Thank you Bigg.
asma 2020 Posted 2009-10-12
I love Fnaire to death. I hope to be with them in the band and sing with them though I am aware this is just a dream which won't be realized. Anyway, I also like Bigg. I tell them well-done, well-done, I love you.
aziz Posted 2009-10-17
Hip hop forever. Fnaire are the best rap music in Morocco. Thank you. Moroccan hip hop forever.
