Open YouTube’s music trends in Morocco right now and something becomes obvious pretty quickly: Moroccan artists aren’t fighting for a tiny corner of the chart. They are the chart.
One of the names driving that momentum is Draganov, particularly through his collaboration with TIF.
Their track “Couci Couca”, released on September 18, has been climbing quickly, passing hundreds of thousands of views while several other tracks involving the pair have also appeared among Morocco’s trending music videos.
That kind of momentum matters because it isn’t happening in isolation.
MANAL is there too. Her track “FORAS” has crossed the million-view mark, continuing a run that has made her one of Morocco’s most visible pop artists online.
Muslim, meanwhile, is pulling significant numbers with a new version of “7wal Nas”, while Gnawi and Salim Rbati’s “3ALAL” is also gaining traction.
Put those names next to each other and the interesting part isn’t simply that Moroccan music is popular in Morocco. Obviously, it should be.
It’s the variety.
