The Moroccan musical project Bob Maghrib has announced a mini-tour across Rabat, Casablanca, and Essaouira.
Bringing together several prominent musicians from Morocco’s contemporary music scene, Bob Maghrib blends Jamaican reggae with Moroccan musical heritage and African rhythms. According to organizers, the project goes beyond a tribute to Bob Marley by creating a dialogue between reggae and Maghrebi traditions through the use of traditional Moroccan instruments.
The group revisits reggae arrangements by integrating instruments such as the guembri, ribab, outar, violin, and traditional percussion, while also seeking to highlight Moroccan instruments that have become less present in contemporary music.
Songs including «Africa Unite», «Could You Be Loved», «Get Up Stand Up», «Exodus», and «War» are reinterpreted through this hybrid musical universe mixing trance, groove, and themes of freedom, resistance, and intercultural dialogue.
The lineup includes Adil Hanine (drums, vocals), Foulane Bouhssine (ribab, violin, vocals), Anas Chlih (outar, vocals), Fayçal Moukhtar (bass), Simo Babara (percussion, backing vocals), Mourad Belouadi (guembri, vocals), and Wassim Taghzouti (keyboard, backing vocals).
The tour will begin in Rabat on May 15 at Café La Scène inside Cinéma Renaissance, before heading to Casablanca’s L’Uzine on May 16. Bob Maghrib will then perform on June 27 on the beach stage of the Gnaoua and World Music Festival as part of the festival’s 27th edition.
