About
Tarekai is a Belgian-Moroccan artist stitching together two musical worlds: the rhythms and feeling of Morocco on one side, Western song structure and production on the other. His music moves from chaabi and gnawa into classical Arabic tarab, from intimate acoustic moments into full modern productions — with the lyric always at the centre. Those lyrics shift between Darija, classical Arabic, French and English, the way life between two shores actually sounds. Home, distance, pride and longing keep returning as themes — from Bladi ya zina (2025) and the album Laylat Essoltan — ليلة السلطان (2025) through to 3lach kolchi complicated, Bladi Hiya L3ezza and the single غزة في القلب (Ghazza f l'Galb) in 2026. Spotify No nostalgia, no folklore museum — just music from someone who is a little bit at home everywhere, and therefore a little bit of a stranger everywhere too. Short version (Spotify for Artists, ~300 characters) Tarekai brings Moroccan roots and Western production together: chaabi, gnawa and tarab crossing paths with modern songwriting. Lyrics in Darija, Arabic and French about home, distance and pride. 🎧 Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/artist/5L0MW7YzkFK3lkaTxRI2K4
