Fado Festival Morocco introduces Moroccan audiences to the voices, guitars and narratives of a Portuguese musical genre recognised as intangible cultural heritage.
A tradition born in Lisbon’s neighbourhoods
Fado gives musical form to absence, memory, travel and urban life. The festival presents different generations of performers and shows the evolution of a repertoire that is both popular and highly cultivated.
Voices and Portuguese guitars
Concerts are built around the relationship between singing, Portuguese guitar and the fado viola. Guest artists reveal the diversity of styles, vocal colours and contemporary approaches to the genre.
A cultural bridge between Morocco and Portugal
Held in Rabat, the event belongs to a longer history of Atlantic and Mediterranean exchanges. It contributes to strengthening artistic connections between the two countries.
