Not sure I'm the best person to ask, but hopefully someone will read this and more leave suggestions. I've got the song "tonton d'amerique" by Tiken Jah Fakoly on my ipod. I know there are some great Algerian musicians/rappers, but I can't recall any specific names. Good luck! Enjoy Morocco. Hmm.

I’m in the music business and there is more than enough reggae from artists who have it as part of their cultural heritage. So a Moroccan singing/playing reggae hasn't a chance for foreign exposure. On the other hand, gnoua is good and has an international audience, but do young Moroccans want anything to do with it? No, it's seen as old mens' music, and the discipline necessary to play it properly (it is religious music, very involved with Sufi rituals) means that most young musicians can't be bothered. So why don't these young and very creative musicians develop their own cultural traditions, instead of borrowing (not very well) reggae? However, if you want to hear contemporary street Moroccan music at its best, search out the urban hip-hop and rap which is coming out of Rabat and Casablanca... as good as anything Europe or North America has produced. Of course, seeing as it's sung in Daraja (Moroccan dialectical Arabic, or French, it won't get a listen in the States or the UK, but that is the English speaking world's loss.
