🎙️ AÏTA MON AMOUR x PALÉO FESTIVAL 🔊 {| wordstobemusic | vol. IV} ☁️ When it comes to powerful women musical references, the Moroccan scene bears one of the most mystic ones: the Chikhates. These artists in Moroccan Aïta music are known for preserving oral traditions through powerful and ecstatic performances. Channeling ancestral trance and rituals through their poetry, singing, and dancing, Chikhates often lead their audiences into hypnotic states. Experiencing their live performances is something so intense and powerful that it is hard to put into words. 🧵

☁️ This is the tradition that Widad Mjama, singer and rapper (the 1st woman rapper of Morocco), and multi-instrumentalist Khalil Epi pay tribute to with Aïta Mon Amour, their band. In their first album, “ABDA”, they offer a never-heard reinterpretation of the traditional aïta, infusing it with subtle contemporary electronic sounds. On record, their songs take you by the guts to dive into their trance —the effect is so strong, I can’t imagine what it will be during their performances at the Paléo Festival (they’re playing twice! On July 23rd & 24, 2025)!

☁️ Aïta music being a strong component of my childhood, Aïta mon Amour’s entire catalogue drove me back to my ancestral roots. There, I met... || yet, I’m alive || look at my life torn down in pieces yet, I’m alive look at my mind oh, how it melted in green fire, left in weedy tatters and blurry splinters and only Pluton’s seeds to bud its fallout bloom look at my corpse burn down in charred bits yet, growing on wings then, look at my mind when it minds its mind —oh, how it flies ☁️ How ecstatic will the poem(s) inspired by their live performance be? That's a question we'll answer in | wordstobemusic | — vol.4, dropping later this year. Paléo Festival Nyon | July 22 — 27, 2025 | 🎫 everyday at 10am ➡️ https://yeah.paleo.ch/en ☁️✒️🎧
