Vive le (Ma)rock indépendant !

Impossible to forget the nightmare lived by the hard rockers. Victory's bell ringed, guitars replaced handcuffs, and he was filled by emotion!
This Saturday 31st May, Nekros brought up rage in the heart and the body on stage for their first gig since the case, on the rostrum of the young musicians Boulevard. They sing and play heavy metal without scruple, with passion and faith, (unshakable this time) the index and the auricular up high (sign of hard rockers recognition).the V of victory is no more an illusion, on stage as among the crowd. All dressed in black, they came in a huge number showing white paw in the COC stadium. The victory will finally be total in the enclose of the boulevard on Sunday, when Reborn won the rock/ hard competition. nobody could erase from his memory the nightmare of these last months for 8 of the musicians of the selection." we love rock and we're not ready to stop" said Nabil A , the drummer of Reborn the only survivor of the set of arrests. He became a fugitive for 15 days (to be forgotten a little bit) the cops and his parents had knowledge of his acts of "hardaza" while discovering his photo on the poster of the support committee. to forget?? Impossible! To be forgotten??? As soon as possible, and yet there are signs that don't deceive. Amin H. and "Titif" F. of Reborn. they raise proudly a home made T- shirt with their Oukacha matriculation number and in the back of the T shirt a " P4 " designating their residence pavilion stepped in the top of the scale of the intolerable. Amin H. also exhibits for the first time on stage his cut of hairs made in Oukacha bribed to the barber of the city against a packet of Marchioness (marquises) and 4 portions of cheese.
In the backstage they play with acoustics guitars the song composed in cell, relating the sinister epic. Samir A., friend of rockers and arrested at the same time, is the great absent of this underground gig. Does he have maybe enough of that entire crowd? Abdessamad answers: NO, his mother died last week by a heart attack caused by the shok of the arrest of her son (((Decidedly, consequences are more satanic than reasons.))) "hard rock will live ", howls Driss Laraki, driver of the festival, he/it knows that the rock has just had its first victim, but the hope is there. The clue is that the mom of Saâd B., bassist of Nekros, went to the concert to admire her son on stage. She confides: " I prefer to see them with guitars that with handcuffs ".
The emotion could also be seen on their faces when their guitars began to resound. "Even though no circuit exists for the rock in Morocco, we want that metal stage survives thanks to an illuminated public, who runs away of drifts for which they condemned us. I pray, I don't like blood, I prefer to make dajij (noise) in a garage than losing my days in a café, drinking or taking drugs. the underground is our way of life." we don't have any objective of sale and we don't want that at all." says Nabil G 23 years old, yet bachelor in economy and management. If one day, we earn money, I want to bring up a label, and why not to begin creating this non-existent circuit for the meantime. For Nabil G. and the others, all good students or salaried , music is an outlet, and the underground is an irreplaceable synonym of liberty." freedom , freedom" says "Titif " F. on the microphone before Nabil G. concluded with a laughter at the time of the discount of prices: "thanks to Oukacha".
What about the 3 others???
What do the 3 none cleared of the hard rockers suit become?
All, in right to ask their rehabilitation, either the virginity of their police record, cannot make it those 34 months after the verdict. The Egyptian said that Mohamed Ali Kamil finally got the authorization to reopen his café after many difficulties. Mounir Noucherif tempts to take artist's normal life, after having finished his fresco in Ain Borja. Present to the Boulevard, and wanting to remain discreet, he didn't wish to nor appear in interview or in photo. Respect! Idem For Bouchaïb El Hamdani, absent in the festival, he is held definitely aside since his exit from jail. The police refused to return him his papers, the accommodating to redo them.
Hey Bouchaïb... HOLD ON TIGHT .GOOD LUCK. COURAGE!!!
