This painting was made to promote the video clip of the song L'ghram, released in 2021 by the Taroudant group VALA WIND (“World music”), of which I am a member as a pianist.
Taroudant folklore is revisited in this clip, and I wanted to set that moment on canvas.
A painting made for a song
L'ghram is a 2021 song by VALA WIND, a group from Taroudant in the “World music” category. DAMSSILI, who is also a pianist, is a member of the group.
He painted this 60 × 45 cm oil canvas to promote the video clip of the song. Taroudant folklore is revisited in the clip, and the painting sets that moment on canvas, between realism and impressionism, with a portrait at its centre.
It is a good example of how music and painting meet in his work.
