FESTIVAL NATIONAL DES ARTS POPULAIRES
The festival showcases Moroccan history and culture particularly through traditional Moroccan music, while also welcoming foreign melodies. The festival seeks to preserve the precious knowledge of traditional Moroccan popular arts which has been marginalised by new artistic trends through performances by traditional artistic troops as well as providing a room for free musical expression by these troops.
The festival takes place in Marrakesh, the centre of popular Arts in Morocco, whose Jamaâ-El-Fna Square gained recognition as the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity by UNESCO in 2001. This Moussem of modern times showcases the best traditional artistic troops of Morocco, who will perform in the Great Parade on the opening day, as well as every night at El Badii Palace and at the Festival Village.
