Marokko Swingt plot
"I'm sick of it." Twenty years ago, Najat Aâtabou shocked the whole of Morocco with this clandestinely recorded and illegally distributed song. Her parents shed tears, her brothers threatened to kill her. Najat Aâtabou fled her native village of Khemisset in the Middle Atlas and lived in hiding in Casablanca for three years. She is now a celebrated star throughout the Arab world and is also very much loved by the Moroccan community in the West. In May 2004 Najat Aâtabou gave a masterclass in Amsterdam to four young Moroccan/Dutch singers.
