The Band's Founder and Leader - Amir Ali
Amir Ali founded Mo 'Rockin in (1998), and has been performing at Epcot's Moroccan pavilion for eighteen years.

At age seventeen, Ali came to the United States where he studied jazz, funk, American pop, blues, R & B and hip hop. He has recorded with numerous major record labels and toured with such famous musicians as Abboud Abdel Al, Haj Younes, Amad Doughane, and many more.

Not Your Ordinary Rock Band
Mo 'Rockin plays its own original music during its 20 minute sets that it plays at Disney World. The varied sounds and influences really make this a true World Music feel.

Besides their style of music the instruments that they play are not what you would typically see in a "rock band". Although you may see an occasional violin, how often would you see an Oud or a Zendrum?









The Oud is an instrument that has its roots going back 4500 years and is very popular in Arabic countries even today.




The The Zendrum is a MIDI (Musical Instrument DigitalInterface) triggering controller designed by drummers to allow musicians to express their creativity in rhythmic and intuitive ways. However, the Zendrum can trigger ANY sound via MIDI, so it is much more than drums yet as easy to play as tapping your desk with your fingers. Unlike a keyboard, there are no moving parts to break or wear out.
