BIOGRAPHY

ISSAM KAMAL & MAZAGAN

The emblematic group of today’s Maghreb music scene, Issam Kamal & Mazagan have revolutionised popular Moroccan music with the initiation of “Chaâbi-Groove”: an explosive blend of traditional song with rock sounds. The group has toured the world since 2008, winning over increasingly large audiences (Canada, Morocco, Algeria, Tunisia, France, Belgium, Spain, Holland, Germany, Switzerland, Italy, Senegal, Cape Verde, Mauritania, UAE) and collaborated with major artists such as Khaled, RedOne, Alpha Blondy, Maher Zain, and Outlandish. They are the perfect ambassadors of Morocco’s millennial culture, rooted in Africa and open to the world. Issam Kamal & Mazagan were decorated by His Majesty King Mohammed VI in recognition of their efforts to modernise the Kingdom’s musical heritage.
