Abstract

Two musical forms highly popular among youths of Moroccan origin in the Netherlands, “Moroc-hop,” and shaabi, permit youths to express specific and multiple identities in local contexts. Whereas these youths are often identified primarily as “Muslims” in the debates on integration and minority issues, they identify themselves according to very different categories.
