Anissa et Mars Drive are playing for free in Washington DC on january 29th and all I can figure out from google and the Kennedy Center website is that the singer is Morroccan and she's accompanied by French electronica. Anybody know more? They apparently had a cd out on iconaki in France in 2001.

Nothing on All Music Guide and Amazon and the Kennedy center publicist tells me the French Embassy which is helping put on the event has nothing...I like the Moroccan music I've heard so I'm curious.

I wish I could speak French. The Google English translations of the iconaki website are hard to comprehend--"the musical mounting of vocal diamond crimps it at the point to exceed..." from a review entitled "An Eastern diamond crimped of electro"

It all sounds interesting! Report back as you find out more.

I do follow " a harmonious cocktail of electronic musics sublimated by an Eastern song(Egypt) and arabo Andalusian (Morocco."
