About this event

Jazz in Morocco: history, circulation and transformation

On Sunday 1 November, Dr Eric Petzoldt gives a free talk at Marrakech Jazz Experience on the history of jazz in Morocco. The lecture's theme considers the circulation of music between artists and cultural scenes and how jazz has changed through encounters with different traditions.

Looking beyond the concert stage

The festival combines performance with discussion and transmission. This talk follows Othman El Kheloufi's Saturday session and offers historical context for Morocco's relationship with jazz and its evolving sound.
