The Music & Artists of Morocco
Wherever you travel in Morocco you are guaranteed to hear music. It is the basic expression of the country’s folk culture. Traditional Moroccan music is an important part of every day life, evident at every celebration and is most spectacular when it is seen live at births, marriages, funerals, religious gathering and festivals. Ancient Moroccan music can be found in the mountainous regions and is performed within Berber villages while in the cities there is a strong Arabic classical tradition, of songs and instrumental music brought by Arabs from the east and Andalusian Spain. Since the 1970’s Morocco has spawned indigenous pop (chabbi music), ranging from protest songs to dance music- sounds that you’ll hear blaring out of taxi radios, bus stations PA systems and in shops, cafes and restaurants. Visit any souk and you will find musicians playing and stalls blasting CD’s and cassettes of local music they have for sale. Festivals are the most rewarding as there is a wide variety of styles performed at them such as Berber, Gnawa, Jajouka, Chabbi, Griha,Moroccan Rap, Sephardic and Sufi.
