Thidrin performed in Rotterdam on 24 May 2008, introducing new songs and material from the album Biya to an audience drawn from the Netherlands and neighboring countries.

The original report described a warm reception for a band whose songs engage with freedom of expression, women’s experiences, and social inequality. Its distinctive rhythms gave these concerns a musical setting that listeners could share in the concert hall.

At the time of the performance, Biya was expected to become available in Morocco in the following weeks. A summer concert in Al Hoceima was also being planned.
