Sufi Festival - Audience have their say...

As the Festival of Sufi Culture concludes for another year, instead of our normal Festival Wrap, we have decided to let members of the audience to have their say. Our reporter, Alice Price, took time to speak to individuals across the week about their experiences and perspectives on the 12th edition of the Festival.

The most common complaints are, sadly, not new. For years patrons have commented on the lack of English language introductions and programmes. In 2019 any festival that aspires to be an international one, must, out of courtesy, provide information in English.

The festival was unable to communicate with its audiences about venue changes due to rain. A simple festival app would overcome this problem. The festival needs to have an information line. Patrons who rang the office found that the staff were not aware of venue changes.

The alternate venue (Commune de Fez pictured below) was acoustically unsuitable and criticised for being a long way from the Medina where a majority of patrons were staying. Many taxi drivers had no idea of the venue's location.

"An unfortunate venue"

Hariya, Fez: “​I have been coming to this festival for 12 years now it still remains one of the highlights of my year. I come for the magnificent musical performances and to immerse myself in the true meaning of Sufism. As someone who has attended the festival since it was founded, I have personally noticed an increase in people attending this year, in particular the musical concerts”.

Salima, Rabat: “​I am a journalist and this marks my first time at The Sufi Festival. I believe that the festival is a wonderful thing, as it allows you to learn not only about Morocco but the rest of the world. For instance, through learning about Sufi poetry and the significant influence that other countries such as Spain had in its creation. Most importantly, the festival allows people to discover new forms of spirituality and makes the beliefs and ideas of Sufism available to all”.

Mathew, UK: “​This is my first visit to the festival and I have mixed feelings. The music and lyrics never fail to touch me. However, my main fear is that the Sufism of Fes finds itself a museum piece. I attended a performance by the musical trio at Dar Batha and I personally found the performance to be a weaker version of Coleman Barks. I also attended the Azzedine Alouie concert held at the Commune de Fez that evening, which I failed to connect with at all”

Marionne, France: “​I am here in Fez for a short while and I decided to take this opportunity to go to some of the events across the week. I attended the Tariqa Sharqawiya concert, and although i enjoyed their performance I thought the Commune de Fez as choice of venue was unfortunate, as it lacked atmosphere and energy. However, I found the events held in the Jnan Sibl garden to be beautifully atmospheric and had a real impact on the receptivity of the audience to the music and ideas presented”.

Hussain, Canada:​ “The festival represents a place where regardless of religion, people can come together to gain a deeper understanding as to the what Sufism really means to the individual. However, from my deep understanding and knowledge of Sufism, the festival represents a beach whilst Sufism itself is an ocean. This is not necessarily a criticism of the festival, but reflective of the depth of Sufism as concept. Having also attended the festival for many years, I have noticed a reduction in numbers attending this year”.

Prianka, India: “​Having worked for the festival in the past, I will admit that the festival has too much of an intellectual focus and I would like to seem them adding more interactive elements in the future. I did however, appreciate the addition of the cultural tour and also the perfume master class as it allowed for some variation. In coming years, I would like to see more focus on the community of Sufism, with possibly the addition of a tea service after each of the events to allow people to engage with each other and expand their mutual ideas”

David, Australia: The lack of info in English is a real problem. The round tables are a tired format with many of the same people year after year. While some concerts such as Tariqa Sharqawiya were superb, the opening night was in need of theatrical direction to make it more than a flat presentation of people reading from books. Where was the dynamism?

Overall, while it is evident that the festival still remains an important event for people to expand their understanding of Sufism. However, it is equally clear that the ways in which Sufism is celebrated and promoted need to be diversified and brought into the modern world  - as was indicated by the Festival's theme - "Sufi Culture - Spiritul Humanism for our Time".

Festival Of Sufi Culture - Final Night

Saturday evening brought the closing ceremony of the festival to Jardin Jnan Sbil, where a large crowd was offered a varied performance of Sufi music to end this year’s festival on high

The Secret Language of Flowers and Perfumes

The opening’s event centred itself around the theme of “The Secret Language of Flowers and Perfumes". This theme was emphasised at the start, with individuals, all in white gracing the stage to speak in overly emotive tones, as to the significance of this theme in Sufi culture. Unfortunately it came across as slow and indulgent and with little stagecraft other than by Leili Anvar, who is always a standout. It was surprising that, despite the short script, all the performers had to read their lines.
The opening sequence was lifted by the performance of the superbly talented Amal Ayouch, an actress with a list of films to her credit. It was a pleasure to see such professionalism. Ayouch gave a great example of how "being in character" makes a great performance

Amal Ayouch - Consumate professional

Born in Casablanca in 1966, Amal Ayouch showed interest in acting from an early age, performing on stage at high school. When she was 18, she arrived in Montpellier where she studied to become a pharmacist. While at university, in 1987 she joined a theatre group attached to the French literature department.

Leili Anvar'- a great voice and a sense of stagecraft

Despite this slow start to the night, Fatima-Zohra Qortobi proved a welcome addition to the stage, with her beautifully powerful and versatile voice fixing the audience attention. Fahtima’s performance must be remarked by her consistent engagement with her audience, as she encouraged them to clap, dance and sing along with her music. This is in turn proved significant for audience members, as it showed that Fahtima was not there purely to sing, but to share and celebrate Sufism in its entirety. The highlight of her performance was her ability to change the pace of her singing for added effect, which saw the orchestra and audience respond to her enthusiasm.

Fatima-Zohra El Qortobi

Born in Oujda, the capital of the Oriental, Fatima-Zohra El Qortobi grew up in a family attached to the traditions of Eastern Morocco musical heritage. At the age of 17, she won the prize for the "most beautiful Gharnati voice" festival in Oujda. Fatima-Zohra El Qortobi is an aviation engineer by profession, but her passion for singing and music that rocked her childhood and adolescence remained intact.

Burak Bildik 

For many, the stand out performance undoubtedly came from Turkey's “Whirling Dervishes”, who filled the stage in a display of grace and tranquility, which received a powerful reaction from the audience, with much clapping, dancing and whistling along the spectacle. For many years Burak Bildik has been a regular performer with the Turkish Brotherhood and was warmly welcomed back to Fez.

Festival Director Faouzi Skali - happy with the festival

Through the varied and diverse performances, the night itself successfully embodied the meanings and significance of Sufism within not only Morocco but across the world, with the audience already left anticipating the return of the festival next year.

Fes Sufi Festival - Perfume Master Class

The return of the good weather on Friday allowed for all festival events to be rightly held in the Jardin Jnan Sbil, which proved the perfect location for the evening’s perfume master class to take place. Alice Price reports...

The master class was led by Abderrazzak Benchaabane, the Marrakech based Botanist and Master Perfumer who’s extensive career in the industry has seen him establish a notable mark on the perfume world, from founding festivals such as Festival Jardin Art, to more notably working alongside Yves Saint Laurent at the world renowned Jardin Majorelle.

Despite his successful career, Abderrazzak maintains that his motivations have always been purely spiritual, in emphasising that the role of a master perfumer goes deeper than the knowledge of the scents themselves, but that of the knowledge of their spiritual significance and associations.

Abderrazzak brought our attention to the spiritual significance of not only Morocco, but Fez itself within the perfume world. Despite many associating places such as Paris to be the perfume capital, Abderrazzak enlightened us as to the diversely rich scents and spices that are unique to Morocco. For instance, when it comes to creating a perfume that incorporates solely Moroccan essences, the master perfumer informed us that scents such as orange flower, rose and saffron form the key ingredients, with these particular scents harbouring superior qualities.

Rose for instance, is considered to be at the heart of a good perfume, with the Moroccan and Turkish roses being the most highly sought after.

Perfume and sunset in Jnan Sbil Gardens

Abderazzak emphasised that the key to a good perfume does not only rest in the smells it emanates, but the feelings it incites from the individual. According to Abderazzak the effect that perfume has on the human body is incredibly profound, with human beings making strong personal and emotional associations with smells that remain ingrained in their memory for life.

Overall, the evening proved to be an atmospheric and spiritual breath of fresh air for the Sufi Festival, with audience members having maintained very positive reactions as to the information and smells they were met with.

Music and Poetry at the Fes Festival of Sufi Culture

Wednesday evening saw crowds brace the cold and fill the French Institute’s “Dar Batha”, to hear a poetic piece with a musical twist.

Micheal Lonsdale 

Entitled “Les Sagesses”, the performance followed the plight of humanity by going into great detail about the problems they faced, from rain to food shortages, and therefore conveying the frustrations felt. From this, the poem emphasised the sheer significance of the relationship held between the wisdom of sufism and nature; that everything on this earth is linked. This in turn highlighted that belief (especially in Sufism), does not follow one narrow route, and that everything must be considered in order to attain it.

From first impressions, the ensemble appeared to be an eclectic mix, with Micheal Lonsdale performing the narration, alongside the accompaniment of the pianist Patrick Scheyder as well as the well known oud player, Léo Fabre-Cartier.  Despite a slow start from the Micheal Lonsdale, who at times proved hard to hear with an at times mumbling delivery over the mumbles of the audience, the encouragement from both the piano and beautiful oud accompaniment, eventually allowed him to find his rhythm.

Patrick Scheyder 

The performance from Patrick Scheyder on the piano, came across as an erratic and diverse range of sounds and tones leaving the audience in a state of anticipation for what they would be met with next. His hand-plucking of the piano strings gave the evening an avante garde atmosphere but it was less than perfect.

Léo Fabre-Cartier

For the non French speakers in attendance, the music from the piano also allowed them to decipher the course of the story, with the detached and heavy sounds creating a certain foreboding feeling in the room. At appropriate moments, the music from Léo Fabre-Cartier's oud countered this feeling of malaise, to allow for some softer sounds to enter the room.

Overall, the evening proved to be very pensive, with the performance obliging the audience to think deeper into the meanings and ideas they were met with.

Thursday at the festival: 
Ensemble Ibn Arabi - Jnan Sbil Gardens 9pm
Tariqa Wazzaniya - Jnan Sbil Gardens 9.30 pm.

''Follow the Chameleon '' - Exhibition Opening

O p e n I n g : Friday, October 25, 7PM at ALIF Riad  

''Follow the Chameleon '' 

Art Exhibition by Ewa Potocka

Artist's statement :

“Follow the chameleon refers to the famous quote from The Matrix, “follow the white rabbit.” Following a chameleon is an entry into my Moroccan immersion like in some type of Matrix. “Chameleon” refers to my paintings about women in Morocco who disappear as if they were part of the decoration inside the home, or other paintings inspired by Morrocan and African culture. There are a questions about the process of adaptation living in a different culture, through cultural shock, like a chameleon’s way of camouflaging itself, hidden in the background. There are questions about the freedom of women who disappear in their home. 

The title “Follow the  Chameleon” is inspired by the chameleon, which has a magical way of transformation and adaptation, an inspiration for a discussion and interpretation of my exhibition. This beautiful creature will take part in the exhibition in a specially designed art installation.”

Tariqa Sharqawiya - Hi-Octane at Fez Sufi Festival

Monday evening marked the turn of the Tariqa Sharqawiya to take to stage, and with it they brought sheer charisma and contagious energy to celebrate an unforgettable night of all things Sufi - Alice Price reports...

Originating from the South of Morocco, the Tariqa Sharqawiya hold great prominence within the history of Sufism, with their presence dating back to as early as the 2nd century. And in more recent imes have always been a huge hit at festivals in Morocco.

Before the evening had even began, the Tariqa set the standards high with each member bursting into powerful and enthusiastic song as they made their way through the audience and to their designated seats.

Unlike that of previous nights, the Tariqa’s musical performance proved to be much more dynamic and engaging. Despite the same lyrics being consistently featured in the performances of other brotherhoods, the Tariqa Sharqawiya were able to convey the depth of their belief in a much more poignant manner, be it through charismatic hand gestures, the incorporation of drums, to the varying tones and rhythms they adopted throughout.

In spite of a depleted audience, the Tariqa brotherhood were still able to rouse as much energy and participation from the crowd as the previous evenings. With the majority of the audience singing and clapping along as the evening reached its pinnacle, whilst some could even be seen dancing in displays of ecstasy.

From an outside perspective, the evening captured the sensation of what it truly means to believe and to be part of a community, with this particular sensation being something that will no doubt stay with those who attended for a long time after.

Primordial Sound - Qadirya Boutchichiya at Fez Festival of Sufi Culture

As a result of the bad weather, the venue for Sunday evening’s Sufi concert was unexpectedly changed. Despite no official confirmation as to the change in venue, and after some quick phone calls it transpired that the concert had been moved to Le Commune de Fez, a less glamorous location in an inconspicuous part of the Ville Nouvelle.  Alice Price reports...

For many, who attempted to find the new venue, were frustrated by the fact that many taxi drivers had no idea where the venue is.

After much taxi confusion patrons arrived at the venue to find it filled with Sufi enthusiasts anticipating the start of the concert (clearly the bad weather nor the change in location weren’t enough to deter their loyalties).

The concert was initiated by a mass of white jelabas filing through the aisle to take their seats on stage. The Tariqa Al Qadiriya Al Boutchichiya was introduced by Festival Director Faouzi Skali who provided a brief insight into the origins and values of the group, with their presence in Morocco dating back to the 18th Century.

The Boutchichiyya Brotherhood are from the small town of Mardagh, near Berkane, in north-eastern Morocco and has become an important pilgrimage destination. The sheikh is Sidi Hamza el Qadiri el Boutchichi and the brotherhood is active in many countries, particularly in the UK.

The Boutchichiyya are an offshoot of the Qadiriyya tariqa, one of the oldest Sufi orders, which was brought to Morocco (initially to Fez) by the descendants of the two sons of ‘Abd al-Qadir in the 16th Century. The Boutchichiyya take their name from the 18th Century sheikh Sidi Ali al-Boutchichi, a Qadiri who was given the title “al-boutchichi” because he used to serve “cracked wheat” (bou tchich) to the poor who came to his zawiya.

.The Brotherhood of the Samaa Qadirya Boutchichiya performs a sacred music, and produces a spiritual state "where celestial music becomes audible," says Moroccan musicologist Abdelfettah Benmoussa. "It combines the primordial sound and the absolute divine word. Through the practice of Samaa, it becomes possible to experience the depths of being in universal harmony".

Although less varied and dynamic than the evening prior, the group still provided the audience with a pleasing performance. After a steady start, each member of the group gradually took on their vocal roles which culminated in a powerful harmony that was felt across the room. This in turn, incited deep applause and gratitude from the audience.

To an outsider, it may have appeared that the songs continuously repeated the same words. However, an audience member Mahdi Lamrini, explained to The View From Fez the importance of the lyrics to those that believe in Sufism. For instance, many of the lyrics are recitals of deeply spiritual poems that hold significance in expressing the key values of Sufism. Therefore in Sufi culture, unlike that of Western culture for instance, the words hold more importance than that of the sounds themselves.

Monday evening performance: Tariqa Sharqawiya 9pm Jnan Sbil Gardens

Fez Sufi Festival - Opening Night

Saturday marked the official opening of the annual Fez Festival of Sufi Culture, with the Jardin Jnan sbil providing a beautifully atmospheric backdrop for the evening’s concert to unfold. Alice Price reports...

After the universal scramble for the best seats, the 2,000 strong crowd waited in anticipation as the melange of smart suits and traditional dress took their places behind their instruments. For the more observant eye, this particular dress code seemed to embody the theme of this year’s festival, that of "Sufi culture, a spiritual humanism for our time". This particular theme aims to focus on the presence and evolution of Sufism within modern society, therefore emphasising that despite modern appearances and behaviour, Sufism still holds a strong presence in Morocco.

Faouzi Skali

Festival Director Faouzi Skali must have been very happy as the venue filled up and the programme started on time.

The opening of the concert was initiated by the Artistic Director, Carole Latifa, (pictured above) who spoke of the importance of Sufism within the spiritual capital of Fez, and in Moroccan culture as a whole. That being said, it must be remarked that once again there was no English introduction provided, which for an internationally renowned festival, proves surprising and disappointing. Perhaps this is reflective of the Festivals’ emphasis on Sufism within Moroccan and Middle Eastern culture alone, which therefore does not necessitate addressing a foreign audience.

The concert itself provided an outstanding musical display, where vocals and instruments worked together to create the perfect balance.

 Marouane Hajji - in fine voice

The first of the singers to take to the stage was that of the notable Marouane Hajji, whose performance did not disappoint. Hajji provided powerful vocals with a strong range that resonated across the jardin. Hajji’s musical excellence even incited enthusiastic participation from the crowd, with some leaving their seats to dance and clap along. Without understanding the lyrics, the musical tones and audience reactions were enough of a translation to understand that Sufism is still very much alive today.

Françoise Atlan

The next singer to take centre stage was that of Françoise Atlan, who took on a more elegant and sophisticated stance, with her effortless ability to switch from beautifully high, to smooth low notes in an instant.

Curro Piñana

The last, but certainly not least of the singers to grace the stage, was Curro Piñana, who brought a Spanish touch to the evening’s performances. Curro was accompanied by a superb guitarist, whose chords created a deep sense of nostalgia. Overall, Curro’s performance was enthusiastic and charismatic, which really brought home his sense of Spanish ​fierté.

Local Sufis got into the spirit of things

The concert itself proved to be a successful, if not slightly staid, start to the festival, which in turn makes us hopeful and intrigued for what is to come.

Also coming up this week on the Festival Fringe...

Fez Festival of Sufi Culture

The 12th edition of the Fes Festival of Sufi Culture will take place from the 19th to the 26th of October under the theme: "Sufi culture, a spiritual humanism for our time"

Once again The View From Fez, as an official Media Partner, will be providing full coverage of the festival. Our regular team of photo-journalists has expanded with the appointment of Alice Price as our chief festival reporter.

The festival gets underway on Saturday, with an official opening at the Salle de la Préfecture at 4 pm.
This will be followed at 9pm by an opening night concert - Al Shushtari, Prince of the Troubadours - in the Jnan Sbil Gardens.  The creation, directed by Carol Latifa Ameer, will feature Françoise Atlan, Curro Piñana and Marouane Hajji.

Full programme details are on the festival website HERE

One annual concern for the festival is the weather. At this stage it looks as though the opening night temperatures will be around 18 degrees Celsius at 9pm when the concert starts in the Jnan Sbil gardens.

The rest of the week is mixed. There is a possibility of rain on Sunday with a high of 24 and a low of 13 degrees. The following three days are forecast to have lower temperatures (around 19 Celsius) and rain. The final three days of the festival should be free of rain, but cool with a range from 19 to 24 degrees.

It is possible some venue changes may be needed if the rain persists, and we will let you know about those if they happen.

We hope you have a wonderful festival!

And, a reminder: Fes Festival of World Sacred Music 2020 dates: 12-20 June

22ND NATIONAL FESTIVAL OF THE ART OF MADIH AND SAMAÂ

The 22nd national festival of the art of madih and samaa of Fez will take place from October 4th to 12th, with a rich menu of artistic evenings and religious evenings.

An initiative of the municipality of Fez, this event, placed this year under the theme "the art of madih and samaâ ... authenticity and extension", tends to promote and preserve this authentic art, as a main component of cultural heritage Moroccan.

Now a must-see event for music lovers in the city, the festival includes many shows and religious evenings and dikr in the zaouïas of the city, including those of Sidi Kacem Ben Rahmoun and Addarqaouya.

This edition, which coincides with Moulay Idriss Al Azhar's annual Moussem, will see the participation of a fine selection of national troops of madih and samaa and Sufi music, in this case the Imam Al Boussayri association of Fez, Al Assal of Rabat, Arrayan of the madih and samaa of Oujda, Imam Arrifai of Tangier and the Fassie association of samaa and madih.

A round table around the central theme of the festival will bring together local and national academics, researchers and artists.

The Festival of Madih and Samaa of Fez, dedicated to the preservation of the cultural and artistic inheritance both local and national, is part, with the Festivals of the art of Malhoun, of the Andalusian music, the Sufi culture and the Amazigh culture, major artistic events organized in the spiritual capital of the Kingdom.

12th annual International Dance Festival

This weekend will see Fez play host to the 12th annual International Dance Festival in celebration of dance in all its forms and genres. The festival, initiated by the Babylon Cult Art Association aims to not only enhance the cultural scene within Fez, but to enlighten its spectators of the significance of dance as a medium for communication. Alice Price reports for The View From Fez

The festival symbolises a setting where artists and choreographic troupes from countries such as Morocco, Tunisia, France, and Spain can come together and bring their own creative insights, all with the same objective - dance.

FESTIDANCE-12 boasts an extensive programme, which will see choreographic shows of Hip Hop, Tango and Contemporary dance across the 4 days, as well as both workshops and screenings aimed at providing a deeper insight into the world of dance and choreography.

Of the performances being showcased across the weekend, “The Orchard of Muses” by director Aziz El Hakim, is one of particular importance in conveying the objectives of the festival. This performance sees the incorporation of visual paintings alongside a range of dance styles from Japanese Buto, Flamenco and Hip Hop, which climaxes in a spectacular celebration of dance in its entirety.
