The 15th edition Jazzablanca Festival will be held July 1 to 3 in Casablanca, announced the organizers in a recent press release.

This edition will witness the event’s return after two years of absence, due to the circumstances related to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Several national and international artists are set to perform in this 3-day event, including Oum, Ibrahim Maalouf, Gilberto Gil, Asaf Avidan, Ben Harper & The Innocent Criminals, Erik Truffaz feat Hamid El Kasri, Mulatu Astatke, Majid Bekkas, and Seun Kuti.

The event involves 12 concerts in total, stating, “each evening will be a unique journey across continents and musical genres,” said the same source.

Jazzablanca was first launched in 2006. It is the international festival of jazz and contemporary music in Casablanca, bringing together big names in Pop, Soul, Rock, Funk, World Music, and Jazz.
