From Morocco / Tunisia

Listen on YouTube

Widad Mjama’s voice carries the foreground, while Khalil Epi builds a frame of electronics, loutar, and rhythm that stays close to the pulse of live song. The result is part chant, part club piece: rooted melodies, heavy repetition, and contemporary electronic treatment without polishing the edges away.

More about Aïta Mon Amour

The project joins Widad Mjama, a pioneer of female rap in Morocco, with Khalil Epi, a key figure in the Arab electronic scene. Their work brings aïta — the rural, poetic song tradition associated with the Chikhates — into a present-day electronic setting.
