Musique – Tricinty Fest revient à Rabat pour sa seconde édition

Image
big_Event (1)

Pour les amateurs de musique Rock et Metal, un événement incontournable s’est organisé par la fondation Hiba en partenariat avec L’ambassade d’Espagne et l’institut Français du Maroc au Cinéma Renaissance de Rabat, le Tricinty Fest, avec sa deuxième édition qui a offert une expérience sonore unique en son genre.

Le public marocain a pris la température et la puissance de deux groupes de la scène Metal locale mais aura aussi l’occasion de découvrir de belles pépites Rock venues d’Espagne et de France.

Tricinty Fest s’impose avec cette seconde édition comme une plateforme vitale et nécessaire pour la diffusion des groupes de Rock et de satisfaire les amateurs et passionnés de guitares distordues et de rythmes déchaînés. Le projet Tricinty a débuté comme une émission de radio en ligne dédiée aux sons distordus. En 2014, l’idée de créer un blog couvrant la scène rock et metal underground est apparue comme une nécessité.

Par la suite, le désir de promouvoir la production locale a conduit à la création du label, qui a publié deux compilations mettant en avant des groupes marocains électriques.
