As part of their Agdal tour, Meteor Airlines will be playing several concerts in the UK. The Amazigh rock band from Tinghir is set to perform in Edinburgh, Birmingham, London, Liverpool, and Manchester, reaching new audiences who will discover their unique style that blends ancestral music with contemporary sounds. Additional dates are scheduled in Ireland, France, and Morocco. On this occasion, the group will be promoting its latest album, Agdal, which is «a tribute to the ancient Amazigh systems of sustainable land and water management», two natural elements that are increasingly central to current environmental and climate issues. In this sense, «the tour not only showcases this innovative music but also serves as a cultural bridge, connecting British audiences with the values of Morocco's Amazigh communities», explains the band. Indeed, the album Agdal addresses themes related to climate, resilience, and the urgent need to protect cultural and natural heritage. Through their music, the band breathes new life into stories rooted in shared memory and a shared future, linked to natural spaces with deep civilizational significance, such as the oases and mountains of the Atlas. Beyond the music, this work is described by its creators as «a call to action to preserve ecosystems and cultural heritage essential to our future». Manager and member of Meteor Airlines, Rachid Ennassiri, shares that this UK tour has been «a dream come true» for the band. «We're thrilled to share our music and the important messages behind it with new audiences», he said. Since 2016, Meteor Airlines has been captivating an increasingly loyal audience with their distinctive blend of Amazigh rock, which has made them pioneers, drawing inspiration from Moroccan ancestral heritage, «culture, history, values, and global themes». In July, the group was awarded Best Artistic Practice in the Mediterranean region at the CREACT4MED Best Practices Award ceremony in Barcelona, Spain.
