FOLK SPIRIT

FOLK SPIRIT blends traditional instruments, fresh beats, and eight musicians striving to honor and contribute to the evolution of Moroccan and Amazigh music. The group finds inspiration for the music in human experiences and struggles felt in their native Amazigh communities and all over the world. The lyrics and songs are a manifestation of this inspiration. In this way, their music transcends their country’s borders to find a common spirit for people all over the world, no matter their ethnicity, race, religion, or spoken language.   

FOLK SPIRIT was created in 2019 in Ait Ben Haddou, Morocco. Some of the group’s members have known each other for years. Others traveled to this area of southern Morocco to meet other like-minded artists. It's started as a hobby, soon turned into a desire to compose their own lyrics and music. The eight members then embarked on a journey to create a music style of their own, a fusion of folk and Gnawa.
