The Moroccan trio Lazywall produces oriental rock/metal hybrids based on traditional Arabic instruments and time signatures. Using Arabic as their language, the band sings about topics like climate change, social injustice, integration, and corruption. As a result, languages are no longer a barrier to unifying cultures. Brothers Nao, Youssef, and Monz moved from Tangier to study in the UK and formed the band in Reading, England. Their inspiration came from Led Zeppelin, Audioslave, System Of A Down, Bob Dylan and Van Morrison. The brothers explored drop D tunings and roots music to connect the oud with the rock guitar. They create an innovative musical trade route from the East to the West. In Chicago, Lazywall recorded their debut EP ‘Primal Tapes’ with Steve Albini while signed to Warner Spain – the brothers are Moroccan and Spanish citizens. Then came performances at SXSW and numerous European festivals. The band was the first rock band to perform on Moroccan TV. However, a performance in front of 50,000 compatriots at the Casablanca Festival made them realise the essential missing link in their sound is language.
“‘Kan Hez Yeddi’ by Lazywall Unites Music and Lyrics to Present a Powerful Message”
I recently came across this song titled ‘Kan Hez Yeddi’ by Lazywall. The lyrics of their song Kan Hez Yeddi say, “No human being should be illegal”. It is for anyone who feels like they don’t belong and for those who are afraid of losing what they have. From the opening guitar chords to the pounding pulse of the drums, the instrumentation perfectly complements the theme of the song. The vocals are raw and expressive, emphasising the intensity and significance of this particular problem.
Overall, ‘Kan Hez Yeddi’ by Lazywall is a thought provoking song. The song’s lyrics serve as a potent reminder of the value and dignity that each and every person possesses.
