The EU Delegation in Morocco is organising a Jazz Festival bringing together Moroccan and European artists for a musical event that promises to cross boundaries and cultures.

The 14th edition of ‘Jazz au Chellah: Jazz européen, musiques maroquaines’ will take place in Rabat from 11-15 June. Ten European groups will meet five Moroccan groups in a festival assembling some 40 musicians. A press release said the festival had not only established a loyal audience in the 14 years of its existence, but had cemented a new cultural dimension – using the freedom of jazz to anticipate a dialogue of cultures.

Jazz au Chellah is organised since 1996 by the EU Delegation in Morocco and the embassies and cultural centres of the EU member states, in collaboration the Moroccan Ministry of Culture.
