Today is the second day of the five day festival where history and music blend together. Musicians from around the world have arrived at the Roman town to take part in the 10th Intenational Volubilis Festival.
The lineup includes artists such as Carlo Aetis Dato Quartet (Italy), Kadi Diara (Burkina Faso), Lashkari group (Georgia), Eva Manzono group (spain), Les Doigts de l'Homme (France) and NMB Brass Band Funk Hip-Hop (USA), in addition to Saudi band of popular arts, Al-Quds band (Palestine) and a myriad of Moroccan artists who will share the stages of this event.
It will be an opportunity for singers and music fans to discover the Roman town, which was proclaimed as a UNESCO World Heritage site in 1997. In antiquity, Volubilis was an important Roman town situated near the western border of Roman conquests. It was built on the site of a previous Carthaginian settlement from (at the latest) the third century BC, but that settlement overlies an earlier Neolithic habitation.
