Sharka by Chaka Chouka

Morocco is a cultural crossroads where North African Berber culture meets the Middle East, the Sahara, sub-Saharan Africa and Europe. Chaka Chouka’s music is a reflection of this and also links seamlessly with the African roots, traditional “mento” music and jazz/ R n B influences of reggae. Listening to the album will infuse your senses with a unique blend of flavours from the Carribean, North Africa and the Middle East.

“Sharka” means “share” in Arabic and Chaka Chouka’s music is an expression of their diverse musical roots and a desire for a fairer, more compassionate society.

Even though “Sharka” has lyrics in four different languages, the message is clear.

We are part of a world commune, we can make a difference with respect and love and understanding.

Chaka Chouka are making their own journey, so come join us, on the peace train.tMM
