Marrakech – To mark both the 50th anniversary of the Green March and the UN Security Council’s historic endorsement of Morocco’s Autonomy Plan for the Sahara, Morocco’s musical icon Elam Jay just dropped “Sahra Dyalna,” a song that’s less of a track and more of a national heartbeat.
Released on November 6, “Sahra Dyalna” blends emotion, modernity, and patriotic pride into a powerful anthem that captures a defining moment in Moroccan history.
Through this song, Elam Jay revives the spirit of the Green March, wrapping it in contemporary rhythms and a message that transcends borders. It’s Morocco’s story; past, present, and future, told through melody and meaning.
But “Sahra Dyalna” isn’t about conflict. It’s about clarity. The artist calls it a reminder that the Sahara issue is not a battle between nations or people, but rather a misunderstood political and historical episode.
His call is one for unity, dignity, and reconciliation, spotlighting what connects us rather than what divides us.
“This project is a living bridge between our deep history and our contemporary evolution. I wanted to celebrate our youth, reveal the transformation of a country in motion, and declare my love for Morocco, for its cultural richness and collective strength,” said Elam Jay in a press release shared with Morocco World News (MWN).Elam Jay is a Moroccan artist, producer, and self-made entrepreneur with over two decades of impact across creative industries at home and abroad.
In 2004, he helped introduce Universal Music to Morocco, later collaborating with Sony Music Europe.
A true innovator, he was among the first to use 3D videography in music videos and composed “Maghribia” for Morocco’s 2010 World Cup bid.
He’s also no stranger to big partnerships — he is working with Coca-Cola and Inwi, and made history with “Morena”, the first-ever national concert tour in Morocco which drew over 320,000 fans.
Now, with “Sahra Dyalna”, Elam Jay reminds us that some comebacks are more than a return, they’re a rallying cry for unity, pride, and progress.
