Moroccan music is orphaned. The singer-songwriter, Hassan Mégri, who was long a member of the music group "Les frères Mégri", died on Sunday, July 14, 2019, after a long illness.
Creator of the group composed of Hassan, Mahmoud, Younès and Jalila, he managed "to give a new breath to Moroccan song, this man with multiple artistic talents," writes the MAP, in a tribute to the singer. In addition to being an interpreter, Hassan Mégri was also a composer, painter and an assiduous researcher in Persian iconographic calligraphy.
As the same source recalls, the consecration of the group came in 1976, with a concert at the Olympia, then a Gold Record in 2003.
The singer’s burial is scheduled for this Sunday, after the Al Asr prayer, in the Chouhada cemetery in Rabat.
