ElGrandeToto Makes History at Mawazine, 400,000 Fans

On June 28, 2025, ElGrandeToto closed the 20th edition of Mawazine with a historic headline show on the OLM Souissi stage in Rabat — the first Moroccan rapper ever to perform on that stage, a slot usually reserved for global stars. He played in front of a record crowd reported between 320,000 and 400,000 fans.
For an hour, Toto ran through his biggest hits — Salade Coco, Para Mi, Pablo, Maghribi — switching between Darija, French, and English while the crowd lit up the esplanade with phones and Moroccan flags. Organizers ranked the night alongside the edition’s standout moments with Will Smith and 50 Cent.
Mid-show, Toto paused for a major announcement: his single Blue Love had just passed one billion streams online, a first for a Moroccan track. Tearful at the mic, he shouted “On l’a fait, le Maroc l’a fait!” as the crowd erupted in a wave of national pride.
