The Essaouira Gnaoua and World Music Festival | Music Festival / Event
A music festival held in Morocco, it differs somewhat from typical rock festivals and serves as a flagship event for African music, featuring performers of traditional instruments that are not very familiar in Japan. Running since 1998, the festival has traditional and historical dimensions, and what makes a strong impression is that it was the first free festival open to the general public. It is also a festival that places emphasis on musical tradition and transmission, aiming to pass down historically traditional music to a new generation and to nurture young people's spirit of musical freedom.
