Badil

In the year 2018, in the heart of Casablanca, BADIL was born, a visionary musical project under the direction of composer and musician Moussa Khobzi and talented guitarist Zakaria Naani. Sharing a common passion for desert vibes and alternative rock rhythms, they aspired to create something truly extraordinary.

The essence of BADIL lies in the delicate fusion of desert sounds with psychedelic and alternative influences. It was an ambitious artistic approach, an innovative marriage between elements of traditional Moroccan music and contemporary expressions of rock. Their first significant achievement, the EP “Wehid”, was born on October 25 -2022, marking the start of a new musical era. This captivating project was a celebration of gender diversity, an ode to the harmonious intersection between traditional and modern. The inaugural single, “Sahara”, unveiled on February 23-2022, had already outlined this unique musical alchemy.

The BADIL team, also including Amine Er-rahbaouy on bass and backing vocals, as well as Kader Bounas on drums, embodied a collaborative spirit and musical synergy. Previously, Marouan Jbara had also been the group's drummer
from 2018 to 2021, helping to forge BADIL's distinctive sonic identity.

BADIL's artistic approach is not limited to pushing musical boundaries. It is a passionate quest to fuse diverse styles
while maintaining a strong connection to cultural and traditional roots. Each piece, each performance, reflects this
desire to create an immersive experience, a journey through the horizons of the desert and musical imagination.
BADIL, much more than a group, is a living expression of musical innovation and cultural heritage. Their music
transcends boundaries, evoking deep emotions and inviting the listener on a unique sonic journey. It’s a testament
to creative boldness and authenticity, a voice that resonates beyond established genres.
