Legendary Moroccan Singer Hassan Mégri Dies at 79, Co-Founder of ’Les frères Mégri’

Creator of the group composed of Hassan, Mahmoud, Younès and Jalila, he managed "to give a new breath to Moroccan song, this man with multiple artistic talents," writes the MAP, in a tribute to the singer. In addition to being an interpreter, Hassan Mégri was also a composer, painter and an assiduous researcher in Persian iconographic calligraphy.

As the same source recalls, the consecration of the group came in 1976, with a concert at the Olympia, then a Gold Record in 2003.

The singer’s burial is scheduled for this Sunday, after the Al Asr prayer, in the Chouhada cemetery in Rabat.
