Jazz in Tangier and Salsa in Marrakech

September is a great month for music lovers with two major events taking place. Marrakech kicks off the 7th Annual World Salsa Congress from September 4th to the 8th, while Tangier chips in with the Tanjazz Festival from 10th to the 14th of September

In Marrakech, teachers and choreographers will lead Latin dance workshops and international DJs will mix Latino sounds as the Palmeraie resort hosts the 7th Annual World Salsa Congress.

Salsa in Marrakech

The event has gained international recognition and promises to be even richer and more eclectic than in previous years, with more than 2,000 participants and over 100 artists from all over the world: USA, Cuba, France, Morocco, Spain, Italy, Germany, Holland, Norway and Japan.

The program includes show parties, dance parties, pool parties and workshops every day. So if you are in the mood for a taste of salsa, merengue, bachata, kizomba or reggae, then Marrakech is the place to be.

The Tanjazz festival includes performances by artists from diverse backgrounds on stage at the Palais des Institutions Italiennes, squares, local gardens and other venues. There will also be an "invasion" of the streets and city squares by marching bands.
