From the airiness and the sheer heat of its sunshine filled days, to the danger and tension of its vaporous nights, the modern exoticism and the statement of the architecture that flirts happily with the ocean. All of these contrasts end up in his music, for all the right reasons.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Malca<\/strong>\u2018s\u00a0music and with the first track he shares today with us : \u201cShe Gets Too High\u201d delivers on the promise with a seriously catchy and elegant pop with hints of soul. Where influences mix and melt into each other. At times recalling the likes of <em>Al Green<\/em>, <em>Frank Ocean<\/em> and <em>Madonna<\/em>. He\u2019d happily describe his music as Soul-Funk from the 80\u2019s, with\u00a0<em>Rick James<\/em> and <em>Janet Jackson <\/em>as his inspiration \u2026<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"embed-youtube\" style=\"text-align:center; display: block;\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" class=\"youtube-player\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/J9vVdW7l1l4?version=3&rel=1&showsearch=0&showinfo=1&iv_load_policy=1&fs=1&hl=en-US&autohide=2&wmode=transparent\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" style=\"border:0;\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts allow-same-origin allow-popups allow-presentation allow-popups-to-escape-sandbox\"><\/iframe><\/span><\/p>\n<p>To unleash his first tune upon us, <strong>Malca<\/strong> wanted to use video-clips from the popular music genre in Morocco : Chaabi. For it\u2019s comedy golden nuggets, obviously, but not only.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s also because those videos, depict both men and women dancing freely to the music. Being totally oblivious to the actual\u00a0leaden weight\u00a0that weighs and hovers above their heads in their communities.<\/p>\n<p>In Chaabi music, which is a music from the cabaret, lyrics are suggestive, talk about adultery, alcohol, pleasures, and love. In other words, topics rarely, if ever, discussed in the Moroccan society. The video is a festive tribute in some ways to those people. The very people that\u00a0defy authority in order to deliver happiness.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Malca<\/strong>\u00a0will perform live at the <strong>114<\/strong> this Saturday 14th of March and also March 24th at l\u2019<strong>International <\/strong>in Paris. Be sure to catch his live set and follow his musings on his online profiles\u2026<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<div class=\"tiled-gallery type-rectangular tiled-gallery-unresized\" data-original-width=\"640\"
