In Morocco, the city of Fez comes alive each year at the opening of the Festival of Sacred Music of the World. The event, created in 1994, is held in the spring, usually during the month of June. With its success, it attracts more and more artists each year. A symbol of tolerance, the festival brings together a diversity of cultures, with different religious traditions. Initially devoted to the three monotheistic religions, Fez has opened up to sacred music from around the world: Buddhist, Hindu and animist. A wide range of music is therefore offered to the spectators who come to enjoy the sacred songs.\u00a0<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

An open and singing dialogue opens up, where peace reigns and conflicts are forgotten. According to Mohamed Kabbaj, organizer of the event, the festival of sacred music is a “cradle of cultural and spiritual conviviality.<\/p>

For centuries, the city of Fez is a place of cultural meetings. Many scholars, philosophers and artists have lived there. It owes its success among intellectuals to the creation of the famous university, the Qaraouiyy\u00een, built in 857. Moreover, Fez is an atypical city, extremely pretty, and by nature seductive. It is the third largest city in Morocco, the medina (old town) with its magnificent Arab architecture is protected by UNESCO. The city has hardly changed since the 12th century. When attending the festival of sacred music, travelers should walk around the four corners of the city, as the organizers always make sure to dispatch the concerts to different places in Fez.<\/p>

On the B\u00e2b Makina square, one of the most imposing of the city, a large stage is installed where several shows follow one another according to the hours. At the Batha Museum and on the Arc de Triomphe square, in a landscape full of history, near the Zerhoun mountain, other music concerts are also organized.\u00a0 And, some of the city’s cafes offer free shows for children. During the festival, no matter where you walk in the city, you will hear the notes and harmonies of sacred music.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
