From June 13 to 24, Moroccan duo Aïta Mon Amour, Widad Mjama and Khalil EPI, will tour across Morocco to present Abda, a bold debut album that bridges the ancestral sounds of Aïta with contemporary electronic music. Organized by the French Institute of Morocco, the tour will stop in Agadir, Essaouira, El Jadida, Kénitra, Meknès, Fès, Tétouan, and Tangier, reads a press release on Tuesday. Rooted in the powerful oral tradition of the Cheikhates, female poets and singers who preserved collective memory, Aïta takes center stage in this modern reimagining. Mjama, a pioneering rapper and co-founder of N3rdistan, and EPI, a Tunisian producer with influences ranging from classical Arabic music to jazz, offer a genre-defying sound that's both grounded and experimental. With Abda, named after the birthplace of Aïta, the duo delivers nine tracks that blend traditional vocals, electronic textures, poetry, and on-stage energy—a musical manifesto against erasure and boundaries.
