Moroccan Music Festival Madness

Morocco is renowned throughout all of Africa and Europe for its abundance of music festivals. 2010 has a stellar lineup that has me salivating. Yes, the airline tickets are pricey. Yes, it will take you an entire day to get here, but accommodations are very reasonable upon your arrival and I promise the arduous journey is oh-so-worth it.

Fes, Morocco: World Sacred Music Festival, June 4-12 (featuring Ben Harper this year!)

Essaouira, Morocco: Gnawa African Music Festival, June 25-28 (see my video from last year's event right here)

Rabat, Morocco: Mawazine Music Festival, May 21-29 (Eight days of live music featuring Sting, Elton John, Santana, Mika + more)

Marrackech, Morocco: Popular Arts Festival, July 16-24

I'll make 2 of 4 this year, but am kicking myself that I'll miss Sting on a huge oceanside stage in Morocco. That's as close to heaven as I may ever get! I'm in Casablanca at the moment on a long layover on way to attend the Global Shea 2010 conference in Bamako, Mali on behalf of my other company (Bella Luccè). I am spreading your love and good juju here on my 15 hour stopover. I plan to spread far more of that good juju (and all those dollars you've raised) on a month-long journey through Morocco in June. Stay tuned!
