Mohamed Bajeddoub (Arabic: محمد باجدوب; born 1945 in Safi, Morocco)[1] is an acclaimed Moroccan artist of the traditional Andalusian music.[1][2][3]
As a youngster he regularly attended Sufi ceremonials in Sheikh Abu Mohammed Salih where they used to sing the al-Burda in Choirs. Aged 15, he studied under Sidi Said al-Qadiri in Salé and Mohamed Tbayek in Marrakesh.[1] In Salé he progressively attracted interest and relative fame, and eventually achieved a status nationwide.[1]
He has a distinctive style that is considered modern in comparison to more traditional Andalusian artists such as Mohammed Loukili, and sings in a tenor voice.[3]
