Displaying a “sold out” before the show, the Parisian venue, known for welcoming renowned artists, was transformed into a true temple of rap and Moroccan culture. Beyond the artist’s impressive performance, this evening was punctuated by notable moments with the presence of stars who came to support the Moroccan rap child prodigy. Among them, Hamza, the Belgian rapper known for his hard-hitting collaborations and his unique style, Kaaris, a leading figure in French rap, as well as the British Unknown T, who brought his drill touch to the event.
La Fouine, veteran of the French scene, also graced the stage, as did Sky. The Zenith was in turmoil. A compact crowd, coming from everywhere, vibrated to the sounds of ElGrandeToto’s emblematic pieces, from his hits like Maghribi or Blue Love to his international collaborations. 6,200 people sang in chorus, creating an intense and unforgettable atmosphere. The diversity of the audience illustrated the growing influence of ElGrande Toto beyond Moroccan borders, affecting both young Moroccans in the diaspora and urban music lovers around the world.
With this memorable concert, ElGrande Toto proved that Moroccan rap is now establishing itself as an essential force on the international scene. This event, which will remain engraved in memories, opens the way to new ambitions for rap and Moroccan culture.
