Each year it is bigger and better and the reason for that according to festival director, Neila Tazi?How to describe the energy and motivation we find each year to put on the Essaouira Gnawa and World Music Festival? From all over the world come musicians and the public, eager to join in this unique celebration.We are driven by our passion for music and genuine encounters, our desire to preserve some innocence and dreams in a harsh world. For four days we create a world with values we believe in: simplicity and the basic things in life.Artists have a gift for reminding us that being kind, taking the time to listen to others and loving one another are at the very heart of our lives. Songs urging us to stop creating discord and helping those in need are sending us messages of wisdom and peace.The Gnaoua Festival plans to surprise its faithful and cosmopolitan audience this y | | By: THE VIEW FROM FEZ | | |

| Fez Sacred Music Festival - Extraordinary Concert | | 2008-06-08 05:17:00 | | The crowd were on their feet.Qawwali and Gospel music together? It is not an intuitive choice that any programme director would make and yet the combination of Craig Adams and the Voices of New Orleans with Faiz Ali Faiz and his Qawwali Ensemble from Pakistan was so good as to almost defy description.Craig Adams (above) Faiz Ali Faiz (below)The Qawwali/Gospel concert should have opened the FestivalAfter the disappointment of the lacklustre opening night at Bab El Makina, the second evening's concert was a triumph. Those who experienced it were in no doubt that this should have been the opening night concert.The collaboration sprung from the previous highly successful fusion between qawwali and flamenco at last year's festival. This project bringing together gospel music and qawwali is a superb demonstration of the talents of both Craig Adams and his group and the Faiz Ali Faiz Ensemble and one in which the result is greater than the sum of the parts. Adams is a great showman whose a | | By: THE VIEW FROM FEZ | | |
| | Fez Sacred Music Festival - Day Two | | 2008-06-08 04:33:00 | | Ghada ShbeirThe afternoon concerts at the Batha Museum have long been one of the highlights of the Fes World Sacred Music Festival. The venue is intimate, very beautiful and often the performers are the cream of the Festival.The beautiful venue at BathaThe concert by Lebanese singer Ghada Shbeir was no exception. A huge crowd packed in, with an overflow of people content to sit in the shade of the beautiful gardens behind the stage.With Imane Homisi playing virtuoso Qanoun, Ghada Shbeir entranced the audience with a stunning selection of Eastern Christian songs of praise. From her opening rendition in Aramaic of Hoyen Llatoye (O Misericordieux) through to the final, L'el Mentoure, Shbeir held the audience in the palm of her hand. Her voice is a fine instrument - no more so when she sang unaccompanied, her every breath and whisper as clear as crystal. - a wonderful performance.Ghada Shbeir is a teacher at the Kaslik Lebanese University of Saint Esprit and the National Conservatory of Mu | | By: THE VIEW FROM FEZ | | |

| Fez Sacred Music Festival - a musician's pick. | | 2008-04-26 13:21:00 | | Dan Hipgrave (pictured above), former guitarist with British indie rock band Toploader, picks the best of this summer's music festivals for the UK newspaper The Telegraph and places the Fes Sacred Music Festival in the top three.Here is what he had to say:When it comes to summer festivals, I count myself very lucky. I – along with 90,000 deliriously happy mud-caked fans – saw Radiohead deliver their best ever performance at Glastonbury in 1997. Two years later my band, Toploader, appeared on the same stage and I experienced the exhilaration of playing in front of a similar-sized crowd.Since then, I have checked out other British festivals and have toured the world reviewing similar events. Adding travel to the mixture can often enhance the experience (particularly if mud baths aren't your thing) and certainly broadens your cultural compass.So here are my top tips for this summer's festivals, both at home and abroad.DAN'S TOP PICKS.1.

| | Fez Sacred Music Festival - Highlight No. 2 | | 2008-03-24 13:48:00 | | Mnemba, off ZanzibarIt wasn't that long ago that Lumen found herself on the remarkably beautiful island of Mnemba, off the northern tip of Zanzibar. It's a privately-owned island with an exclusive lodge, a dive school and fabulous coral to explore offshore. One evening, Lumen went to the bar before dining alfresco on the beach and was blown away by the music playing ... it was Ismael Lô, and she's been a fan ever since. Hence Lumen is first in the queue for tickets to the final night of the Fes Festival of World Sacred Music, when Lô will be performing along with the Hamadcha Sufi Brotherhood.Ismael LôIsmael Lô is from Senegal. He almost became a painter, but singing took precedence. He joined the successful group Super Diamono in Dakar, but eventually went solo. His music draws on mbalax - the rhythms of the Wolof people of Senegal - along with cool French ballads; he plays guitar and harmonica.

Top of the list is Mari Boine - whose voice has to be heard to be believed. She is performing Sunday 8 June at the Batha Museum 16:30 in a program called Sacred Songs of Scandinavian Far North.Mari Boine Persen is a Norwegian Sami musician known for having added jazz and rock to the yoiks of her native people. Boine (born 8 November 1956 in Finnmark, Norway) grew up amid the Laestadian Christian movement as well as amidst discrimination against her people. She was asked to perform at the 1994 Winter Olympics in Lillehammer, but refused because she perceived the invitation as an attempt to bring a token minority to the ceremonies. Gula Gula - Hear the voice of the tribe's Mother 1989, (Real World) was her breakthrough release, and she continued to record popular albums throughout the 1990s.
