Bab L’Bluz are reclaiming the blues for North Africa. Fronted by an African-Moroccan woman in a traditionally male role, the band is part of Morocco’s nayda movement—a new wave of artists drawing from local heritage while singing words of freedom in darija. Ancient and modern, funky and rhythmic, their music pulses with soaring vocals, bass-heavy grooves, and the vibrant spirit of the Maghreb.
