Moroccan Abdou El Omari was a pioneer of musical fusion, he opened paths that would remain unexplored for years. he released 7 inches records and cassettes on labels such as Cléopâtre, Hassania, Boussiphone, Hilali, and his own, Al Awtar, while performing on RTM (national radio and television). He also composed for artists like Naima Samih, Laila Ghofran, and Aicha El Waad. In 1976, through the label Gam, he released his only vinyl album, Nuits d'été — a record that would become cult decades later, reissued in 2017 by Radio Martiko. He passed away in 2010, never witnessing the rediscovery of his music by diggers, bloggers, and collectors online. The story could have ended there. But one day, his close friend and poet Aziz Essamadi, rescued a cardboard box from the trash — a box containing Abdou El Omari's personal archives. (Born Bad)
