00:00Welcome to Medihan TV.
00:29You have just seen and listened to, dear viewers, Adil Karrat.
00:33He is a member of the Moroccan group Afrika Bande,
00:36singing us an excerpt from Pink Floyd.
00:39And for good reason.
00:40The group is on tour for their concert and show
00:43Moroccan Pink Floyd Tribute by Afrika Bande.
00:46The group has just taken place in Marrakech at the Palais des Congrès,
00:49in front of a full-fledged, conquered room, composed of Moroccan tourists,
00:53young and melomanic of all ages.
00:55The group offered an immersive performance
00:58that carried the audience into the universe of the mythical British group
01:02Pink Floyd.
01:03I invite you to listen to Faisal Tadlawi,
01:05the singer and founder of the Afrika Bande group.
01:08And Adil Karrat, he is, of course,
01:11the singer and guitarist of the group Les Images Chant des Hayat Ziyani.
01:16Why Pink Floyd?
01:17First of all, because it is a mythical group, absolutely mythical,
01:20and which is known around the world, which is known through generations
01:23and through all possible and imaginable cultures.
01:26And we see that when we do our concerts here in Morocco.
01:30We have all the types of people we can imagine.
01:34Teenagers, young people, people my age,
01:37who are in quarantine, people in their 60s,
01:40those who are French-speaking, English-speaking.
01:44In short, it goes through absolutely everything.
01:47And second, because it is a group that is unique by its sound,
01:52by the atmosphere it gives in its concerts.
01:55And I don't think there are any groups in the world,
01:57and God knows that there are millions of groups around the world,
02:00that can convey this emotion.
02:02So Pink Floyd is emotion.
02:04And it's a challenge to play Pink Floyd.
02:06Pink Floyd, you have to play it to understand what it is, in fact.
02:10Pink Floyd is a particular kind of music.
02:13We loved listening to it.
02:15And we realized that when you want to play Pink Floyd,
02:19it's not enough to play Pink Floyd well.
02:22Pink Floyd is a whole atmosphere, it's a world that is around.
02:26And we can't be good at playing Pink Floyd
02:30if we can't get a little bit of this world,
02:36which is this group.
02:37And so you were talking about the brothers,
02:39the brothers we are at the level of the Moroccan Tribute.
02:44And in fact, what brings us together is this desire to always do better,
02:48to always play, to stick a little more to our own expectations,
02:52which often go beyond those of the people who will come to see us.
02:57Created by Faisal Tsedlawi and Yonel Lalouze,
03:00Afrika Band, the only African group to pay tribute to Pink Floyd,
03:04marks the spirits with catchy reinterpretations of the group's classics,
03:08while mixing oriental sound and rock energy with constant novelties.
03:13The group enchants its audience with a wide and captivating setlist.
03:18Musically exceptional, this 100% Moroccan group.
03:21Let's listen to the music of the Pink Floyd to the other sounds of the world.
03:26Let's listen to Faisal Tsedlawi again.
03:28There are groups that do exactly the same thing as Pink Floyd around the world.
03:32There is an English tribute, there is an Australian tribute.
03:35They are groups that fill stadiums.
03:37You should know that.
03:38They are not the Pink Floyd, but they do exactly the same.
03:41We try to do this in our own way and above all,
03:48today, you know, music, if you put artificial intelligence,
03:51it will come out much better than us from a technical point of view.
03:54But the emotion to be passed on, that's the challenge.
03:57And that's through the show, light and video.
04:00So we build all that.
04:02There is a particular attention, we work on the choice of videos,
04:05films, animations that are behind.
04:08Light, lasers, ambiences, atmospheres.
04:12And that, anyway, we see if it succeeds with the reaction of the public.
04:16And that, we see it every time.
04:18The show is enriched by new musicians and unprecedented pieces.
04:22The musicians therefore propose songs combining the titles of Pink Floyd
04:26and other groups influenced by their music, offering an unprecedented experience.
04:30Africa Bind continues to electrify the fans and to seduce the fans.
04:35Already well implanted on the Moroccan musical scene,
04:39with memorable concerts at Jazza Blanca or the Boulevard and other festivals.
04:43The group begins a new phase of its journey with a series of concerts in Morocco
04:48and, of course, an international tour scheduled for 2025.
04:52We listen again. Adil Krat.
04:55We are preparing for it in a different way, of course, because it is a resident show.
04:59So the idea is to be able to do it several times,
05:03especially twice a month to start.
05:06And then it is particular in the sense that we will have the pleasure and the chance
05:11to play in the same place.
05:13So it will allow us to work a lot of automatism,
05:16to develop things that we lack, because we really lack to make great scenes.
05:21And there it will be an opportunity to be at home and to make a very beautiful scene
05:27and to do it again and again and each time to improve the cohesion,
05:31to improve the little automatisms that we need as musicians,
05:37because we live through the little glances that we will throw at each other.
05:42We feel what is happening with each other.
05:45And so, yes, it will be special in that sense.
05:48And in the sense that we will try to renew ourselves each time
05:52to be interesting to listen to each time
05:55and then always bring this magical touch of Pink Floyd.
06:00And we stay in the world of Pink Floyd.
06:0350 years after their title, Money Against Capitalism,
06:08the legends of British rock have just sold their rights to record and image
06:12to Sony Music for 400 million dollars
06:14after several years of intestinal quarrels.
06:18Money, so they say, is the root of all evil today,
06:22sang Roger Waters in Money, a mythical piece released in 1973.
06:26Still, more than 50 years after composing this anti-capitalist hymn,
06:31the British have decided to sell their musical catalogue to Sony Music
06:35for 400 million dollars.
06:37A pact that therefore lends to Roger Waters, David Gilmour and Nick Mason,
06:42as well as the heirs of Rick Wright,
06:45one of the founding members of the group, who died in 2008.
06:48The Pink Floyd group still keeps the rights to write songs.
06:56Thank you, dear viewers, for your loyalty.
