The Historical Context: Morocco's Royal Heritage

"نداء الحسن" (The Call of Hassan) is a tribute to His Majesty King Hassan II, who reigned over Morocco from 1961 to 1999. As Moroccans, we remember King Hassan II as a pivotal figure in our nation's modern history—a leader who navigated Morocco through complex decades of independence, development, and transformation. His reign saw Morocco's assertion of sovereignty, including the successful Green March of 1975 that reunited our Saharan provinces with the Kingdom, a moment of profound national pride when 350,000 unarmed Moroccan civilians peacefully marched south carrying the Quran and the Moroccan flag.

A Patriotic Musical Expression

This composition by عبد الله عصامي reflects the deep respect and loyalty that Moroccans felt toward their monarch. During King Hassan II's era, Morocco maintained its independence and territorial integrity while modernizing its institutions. The piece captures the dignity, strength, and vision that characterized his leadership from a Moroccan perspective. For us, this music isn't just notes on a page—it's a connection to our recent history, to moments of national unity, and to the pride we feel in our country's resilience and sovereignty.
