OULED EL BLED is the story of musicians from the North and South of the Mediterranean who linked their path and their life to Morocco. It is twenty years spent with the Sufi brotherhoods, the
mountain musicians, the Amazigh dancers, the palace lutenists and the singing artisans.
A story that is embodied in their first album, GWER MGHARBA, a unique journey that transports you into an eclectic and powerful universe, to the rhythms of original compositions and lyrics
patiently watered by the sources of tradition.
OULED EL BLED is a tribute to Arab-Amazigh music, immersive and captivating.
