The Story of Baby Gang
Zaccaria Mouhib, known as Baby Gang, was born in Lecco in 2001 to a family of Moroccan immigrants. At the age of eleven, he left his family to improve their economic condition, clashing with the prejudices of Italian society. After a difficult childhood, he discovered his musical vocation. His song “Street”, published on YouTube at the age of 17, marked the beginning of his success. Supported by Don Claudio Burgio of the Kayros association, he continued his artistic and personal journey, recounting his origins and experiences through music. Among his most significant musical works are the EPs “EP1” and “EP2”, and the albums “Delinquente” and “Innocente”, certified Gold and Platinum. The songs “Casablanca” and “Mentalité” are among the most well-known internationally.
