Aza

Hailing from the Atlas Mountains of Morocco, Fattah Abbou and Mohamed Aoualou are builders of musical and cultural bridges. As founders of the multi-cultural world-fusion group Aza, they combine traditional North African instruments such as the oud and bendir with guitars, penny whistles and horns to create a sound that is at once ancient and futuresque. Rooted deeply in Saharan blues styles, Aza makes contagious and danceable music that defies categorization and inspires global awareness.
