Born from the mind of Zouhair Ait-Omar, a mathematician and philosopher from Casablanca, The Zarathoustra Project is much more than a musical endeavor; it is an intellectual insurrection driven by an explosive Funk Rock sound.
Past: The Genesis of a Fight
The journey of The Zarathoustra Project didn't start in a rehearsal room, but in the critical observation of a society where appearances reign supreme. Frustrated by what he calls the social "Trojan Horse"—a beautifully packaged set of traditions, dogmas, and behaviors hiding hypocrisy and the fear of judgment—Zouhair felt the need to transform this internal struggle into artistic expression. First imagined as a rock ballad, the lyrics of "Trojan Horse" proved to be so charged with defiance and energy that only Funk Rock could contain their blast.
Present: The Sound of Revelation
Today, The Zarathoustra Project delivers "Trojan Horse," a hard-hitting debut single that fuses the power of Hendrix's rock, the groove of Prince, and

Midnight Groove
This track by Zouhair Ait-Omar and The Zarathoustra Project is a brilliant fusion of Moroccan Gnawa, jazz, and funk groove.
The Gnawa element is the soul of the track. You can hear it in the powerful, repetitive bassline. This line acts like a guembri (a traditional Gnawa bass), creating a hypnotic, cyclical, and trance-like foundation that anchors the entire song.
The Jazz element provides the freedom and voice. The saxophone takes center stage, improvising with expressive, flowing melodies. This "soloist" voice, flying freely over the rhythm, is a classic part of jazz.
The Groove is the funk that ties it all together. The tight, syncopated drumming and the rhythmic electric bass lock in to create an energetic, danceable feel.
It’s a perfect blend: the spiritual, looping heart of Gnawa, the sophisticated improvisation of jazz, and the high-energy body of funk. This is a powerful example of modern Moroccan fusion music.more
