Ahmed Soultan knows where he comes from, which is reflected in his music. Authentic and unapologetic, he has carved out his own path in the music world since his debut album, Tolerance (2005), which shrugged off trends and rooted itself in the human and artistic values of his native Moroccan village.
His signature style, Afrobian, blends hip-hop, funk and soul with ancestral Arab and Amazigh sounds: the darbuka, the ribab and the healing Gnawa guembri. It’s music that beats to the pulse of today yet carries the timeless essence of tradition.
Crowned Best African Artist and Best African Album of the Year at the All-Africa Music Awards 2016, Soultan has become a powerful voice connecting cultures and audiences worldwide. Along the way, he has collaborated with global legends such as Ne-Yo, RZA, Femi Kuti, Fred Wesley, Pee Wee Ellis and George Clinton. His latest project expands the journey even further, featuring diverse collaborations with artists like Nana Mendoza (Mexico) and Di’Ja (Nigeria, Sierra Leone), proving that Afrobian music is a universal language of roots, identity and connection.
