A second musical evening with the colors of both shores of the Mediterranean

On its second evening, Friday, the 3rd edition of the Moroccan Andalusian Music Festival (FMMA) in Casablanca featured a program marked by diversity with musical groups from here and elsewhere. A mix of Moroccan and Arabic music as well as Flamenco, the most famous musical genre in Spain.

This evening given in front of a large number of music lovers was hosted, in the first part, by the “Qantara” group composed of French, Belgian, Spanish and Moroccan artists who fuse Andalusian music and Flamenco. A fusion of colors from both shores of the Mediterranean, to the great pleasure of the audience who vibrated to the rhythm of the songs performed.

In the second part of this evening, the artist Mohamed Laâroussi, accompanied by the Mohamed Larbi Lamrabet orchestra, continued with the unforgettable performances of the late great master of El-Ala, Abdessadeq Cheqara (1931-1998).

In a statement to MAP, the artistic director of “Qantara”, Kamal Mimouni, said he was very satisfied with this first participation in this Andalusian music festival in front of an audience won over in advance.

Antonio Seguro, guitarist of this group, also expressed his joy at participating in the festival, noting that the repertoire presented by the group during this evening is a mixture of diverse cultures, notably combining the rhythms of Flamenco and Moroccan music.

For his part, the artist Mohamed Laâroussi, also president of the Moroccan association of Andalusian and spiritual music, underlined the crucial importance of the Moroccan Festival of Andalusian Music in the meeting between artists from here and elsewhere and above all the preservation of this centuries-old art, a major component of Moroccan culture.

This festival is organized by the Moroccan Association of Andalusian Music (AMMA), under the aegis of the Ministry of Youth, Culture and Communication, and in partnership with Casablanca Events and Animation, the territorial brand Wecasablanca as well as support from the National Lottery.

During three evenings which end this Saturday, artists and orchestras, from different regions of the Kingdom and neighboring countries, celebrate Andalusian music in all its forms. This edition highlights the unifying power of Andalusian music, an art with multiple cultural influences and a timeless musical heritage that transcends borders and unites hearts.
