Gnaoua Dance Party in Fez.

Last night The View from Fez and Purple Circle held a night of Gnaoua music at Riad Zany. Around fifty people attended with a great mix of nationalities - Americans, French, German, Swiss, English, Australian and New Zealanders. Almost fifty percent of the guests were Moroccans from Fez, Casablanca and Meknes. Mike's crew from Cafe Clock once again provided a fabulous spread of gateaux that was served with copious quantities of mint tea.

As it would be impossible to describe the amazing night - we will let the pictures tell at least some of the story.

Gnaoua bizaf!

Wonderful night, thank you so much. It was one of the best nights I have had in Fez. This is the way music should be shared. I also met so many really interesting people. More please!
