Mourad Youssef Bouajaja · Songwriter & Producer
Songs about distance,
lineage, and home.
From Megrine, Tunisia to Pennsylvania, USA — and back, in the records. I write and produce in Arabic, English, French, and Spanish, sometimes inside one verse.

El Ghorba الغربة
I grew up in Megrine,
between two seas and a tradition
called Malouf — مالوف —
music older than the country it's from.
Then I left.
The records are about that.
✦ The short version
Tunisian-American songwriter and producer. Born in Sfax, raised in Megrine, Tunisia — based in Pennsylvania, USA.
The records borrow from Andalusi-Malouf, French chanson, North African Raï, and American songwriting that doesn't apologize for getting personal.
