The Leila

Contemporary Moroccan Music

Thu, Jun 18th 7:30 pm in the The Theater

The Leila is a dynamic Moroccan singer and songwriter who brings a fresh and innovative approach to the music scene. She belongs to a conservative environment where she had to fight for her right to live her passion for music. Blending elements of rock, soul, and traditional Moroccan sounds, she creates a powerful and eclectic

musical style that resonates with both modern and traditional audiences. Known for her strong vocals and bold stage presence, The Leila tackles themes of self- expression, empowerment, and societal issues, making her an influential voice in the contemporary Moroccan music landscape. Her unique fusion of genres and authenticity continues to captivate fans and elevate her status as an essential artist.

On this tour The Leila will perform music from the album Elghit, an original album that is an echo of her regional roots tinged with the influence of world music and modern rhythms. The album is a mixture of many musical heritages such as Reggada, Arfa, Mechiakha, Gharnati and Rai. The Leila is true to herself, a woman whose voice waltzes between fragility and power, she quickly creates a universe through intelligent songwriting accessible to all, a harmonious blend of the different styles of her region that she mixes with grace and lightness to its rock influences.

This engagement of The Leila is made possible through the Mid Atlantic PAGE program of Mid Atlantic Arts with support from the National Endowment for the Arts.
