Slatucada / MOROCCO
Slatucada is the bridge that links the Latino American samba with Gnawa rhythms made back in the days by African slaves. Also, the junction of Hip Hop moves and native African dances. As a result, performance has mix energy of different feelings, which are attracted from these sounds and rhythms. Today, the Slatucada can look back on a large work of 4 years of artistic practices.

Slatucada is a percussion/performance collective that gathers multidisciplinary artists such as percussionists, dancers and musicians, located in Morocco precisely in Sale city. The Slatucada experience depends on the exploration of unknown rhythms that flow with dances inherited from Moroccan and African cultures, mixed with the worlds music and body expressions, in order to create endless fusions and magical choreographies that place the audience into a new journey and musical adventure full of unique tunes and surprises.
It all started in the streets of Sale city when a group of young artists decided to set their feelings on beats and rhythms. Youssef Anagam the founder of the band who’s a professional percussionist, dancer and Capoeira performer decided to create a new percussion band . First of all the project started by bringing together artists from different backgrounds: Youssef Dajoe who’s a guitarist, lead vocal and performer, Osama Ouziz a percussionist and guitarist, Fatim Zahra Belamine a professional dancer and percussionist, Fatima Slimani a dancer and percussionist, Nabil Boukili a dancer and traditional drum player, Doha Amalah which is also a dancer and percussionist, Lemrabete Hatim a cultural animator and percussionist, Touijer Mohamed a Capoeira player and percussionist. These members became the core of the band and pursued the other new members to be part of the adventure. The name “SLATUCADA” is combining two words : the name of the city «Sla» and our passion “Batucada “.
