Description
It could be said that Kili lives with one leg in Morocco and one in Germany. Morocco is for him his homeland and the place where he can find musical inspiration. Germany is the place where he can transpose his work, and it is here that Kili finds a cosmopolitan public that i fully enthused with his musical harmonisation of Orient and Occident. In Morocco too, there is a large üublic eager to hear his music, which needless to say, is not regarded as world music. The presently available first solo album of Kili is the result of a long development that reaches back to his beginnings as a bass-guitarist in Morocco, over the formative and intensive experiences with Embryo and later with the Dissidenten.
