BIJI 'Zigidi' by Maceo Frost

David Knight - 17th June 2024
Having already made a big impression at last year's UK Music Video Awards, Maceo Frost's superb video for Zigidi, the lead single from his own musical project with Robin Naziri, finally reaches a wider audience. And it really deserves to be seen.
Kurdish/Swedish artist/actor Naziri and director/music producer Frost are collaborating as BIJI, acting as a lens into Kurdish culture through a blend of Kurdish and Western Asian music traditions with other influences, particularly hip hop. It's an audio-visual project which saw the pair travel to the Kurdistan region of Iraq last year to create the pulsating video for Zigidi.
It's a great mix of high-octane, petrolhead-friendly action and social documentary, as Naziri embarks on an improbable mission to deliver the prized BMW of a local boss through the desert 'without a scratch', while recalling flashbacks of conversations with the high elders.
Featuring some brilliant stunt driving by Rozh mohammed Al-sheikhani, Maceo Frost handles the combination of action footage and dramatic interludes with great flair and just makes you want to watch it again - and learn more about this fascinating project. Great stuff.
