Arabesques: Djamil the Shlag, “Exodus(s)”
Show. At 30, Djamil realizes that he really only has one desire: to make people laugh on stage. He feels ready to start in comedy and today puts all his energy into imposing his style and vision. To find his role models, there is no need to look among comedians. He draws his inspiration from James Brown, Jacques Brel, or Freddie Mercury, stage beasts that he admires for their ability to set rooms and stadiums alight.

Arabesques: Bab L’Bluz, “Nayda”
Concert. Armed with their electric guembris, Bab L’Bluz resonates a mixture of Gnawa trance rhythms, Hassani chants from southern Morocco and Chaâbi polyrhythms, thus propelling their music into the magnetic fields of psychedelic rock and the volutes of incense. Led by a Doukkalia woman, the group aims to be the bearer of a revolution in attitude, part of the Moroccan youth movement “Nayda”.
