Listen to the CD

AZA's debut album Marikan is a stirring journey through the music of Amazigh (Berber) culture, infused with modern touches. Featuring the original six-piece ensemble, the evocative Marikan contains some of AZA’s finest early compositions.  With rich melodies, an array of North African instruments (oud, lotar, sentir, bendir and more) and an infectious rhythm section that tips its hat to Rai music, Marikan has been met with an enthusiastic international response.
