It really is rare to see two great artists from two different generations and two different sides of the world performing in an Arab country. Well Morocco’s ‘Mawazine Festival’ will be bringing not only great Arab artists like Nancy Ajram to the Arab world but also western musical legends like Whitney Houston. The festival will be occurring in four separate areas of Rabat each with a different ‘theme’.

One area will be designated to Latin, Portuguese and Jazz music, another will be designated to Moroccan music, another to African music and lastly an area will be designated to performances by the biggest names in the Arab world. As part of ‘Mawazine’ there will be performances by: Los Van Van, Natacha Atlas and Ziggy Marley This festival represents the diversity of the Arab listener especially in their taste for music and is expected to be an outstanding event.
