Chalaban - Live Moroccan Spring

Review by Ashley Otto

Live Moroccan Spring is an album that showcases the vibrant and dynamic music of Chalaban, a band hailing from Morocco. The album captures the energy and spirit of their live performances, with each track transporting the listener to the heart of North Africa.

The album opens with the upbeat and lively "Dounia," which sets the tone for the rest of the album. The fusion of traditional Moroccan instruments with modern Western influences creates a unique and exciting sound that is both traditional and contemporary.

The vocals of lead singer Chalaban are a standout feature, with his soulful and emotive voice adding depth and emotion to the already powerful music. The band's musicianship is also exceptional, with each member contributing to the complex and layered sound.

One of the standout tracks on the album is "Sidi Ifni," which features intricate percussion and a hypnotic melody that is impossible not to dance to. The album closes with "Lalla Aicha," a beautiful and haunting ballad that showcases the band's softer side.
