Zar Electrik defies borders, blending the sounds of Morocco, Sub-Saharan Africa, and the West into a hypnotic fusion of tradition and modernity. Formed in Marseille, the trio unites Anass Zine’s mesmerizing vocals and traditional instruments (gumbri, oud) with Arthur Péneau’s deep voice and electrified kora, enriched by Miosine’s masterful touch on synths and electronic beats. The result is a high-energy groove that pulses with raw intensity, inviting bodies to move and spirits to soar. More than just music, Zar Electrik creates a shared experience—where rhythm, culture, and celebration collide in an electrifying dance.
