Under the High Patronage of King Mohammed VI, the Andalussyat festival returns for another edition, from December 7 to 9. Under the aegis of the Ministry of Youth, Culture and Communication, in partnership with the Casablanca region, the 20th edition of this unique cultural event is dedicated to Andalusian "Al Ala" music.
Under the theme "Music and sport: two vectors for development and living together", the Andalussyat festival will perform in three cities: on December 7 at the Carré d'Or hall in Casablanca, on December 8 at the Théâtre Mohammed V in Rabat and on December 9 at the Complexe Mazagan Beach & Golf Resort.
In this context, the Association des amateurs de musique andalouse de Maroc (AAMAM), organizer of the Andalussyat festival, has joined forces with the Dislog Group.
The industrial group has announced its support for the promotion of this ancestral music by being one of AAMAM's official sponsors for the next five years, enabling it to pursue its cause in favor of preserving this heritage through the cultural and artistic activities it undertakes, says a press release.
Its aim is to have "Al Ala" Andalusian music included on UNESCO's list of universal intangible heritage.
"We are extremely proud to take part in this promotional effort, which is in itself a civic action in favor of anchoring cultural heritage. Our vocation, as a major economic player, is also to support art, culture and sport in our country, which are key vectors for development", said Moncef Belkhayat, CEO of Dislog Group.
"Promoting this ancestral music and working to ensure its continued existence is a noble cause, and one to which the Dislog Group is fully committed. What better way to do this than through the Andalussyat festival, which celebrates its 20th anniversary this year!
"It's an honor and a pleasure to be supported by Dislog Group, which has always supported values and causes that are important to our country," said Azeddine Kettani, President of AAMAM.
To coincide with Morocco's participation in the organization of the 2030 World Cup, the festival's program includes a worthy representation of the Kingdom's two partner countries in the preparations for this global event. Troops from Spain and Portugal will be on hand to treat audiences to the rhythms of Flamenco and Fado, concludes the press release.
