Widad Broco

(1983) was born in Morocco and has lived in the the city of Perpignan in the south of France since 2002. Together with Walid Ben Salim she forms the special musical duo N3rdistan. Inspired by everything from (ancient) Arabic poetry to Massive Attack and Portishead, this republic of nerds offers a wonderful mix of sometimes unsettling texts in English and Arabic, rap, electro, mysterious song and compelling rythms. She is seen as one of the first femal Arabic rappers. These pioneers of Moroccan hiphop and alternative music have performed in Morocco, France, Lebanon, Cape Verde, Dubai, Canada and Estonia. The first eponymous album appeared in 2019.
