Two upcoming music events.


Merzouga will host the fourth Desert Music Festival between May 24 and 25, with musical performances, from Moroccan,Spanish, Brazilian, French and Malian musicians.

According to the events organizers - "We are scheduling a harmonious program allying music and emotions to allow large public to discover musical rhythms, delve into a cultural mosaic and enjoy this festival which vows to be an exceptional musical meeting." A round table on desert tourism and oasis and a camel race will be organized in the area as well.


Gnaoua Dance Party

Also coming up is the third in the series of Moroccan music concerts being hosted by Riad Zany on Monday May 28. The concert, which starts at 8pm sharp, will be a night of Gnaoua - a dance party - and once again guests will be well looked after by Mike and the crew from the Clock Cafe. There will be limited seating - but plenty of dance space. The previous events have been fully booked and attended by a great mix of ex-pats and Moroccans.


There is still room for a few more people - but please do let the organisers know if you are coming. Entry is by donation of (minimum) 50 dirhams and all money goes to support local musicians.
