pened on Thursday, September 24, at the Parc Hassan II amphitheater, the twenty-eighth edition of Jazz a Rabat, the European Union’s festival in Morocco, closes this Saturday, September 26, after three evenings of concerts and one-off creations.
Six European bands and six Moroccan projects meet there in pairs, on a stage conceived as a laboratory, from the contemporary fado of Amara Quartet to the flamenco jazz of Spain’s Antonio Lizana, paired with the Abir El Abed Sextet.
The festival is only in its second year at Parc Hassan II: it was in 2025 that the former Jazz au Chellah left the Marinid necropolis, changed its name and moved to this garden in the heart of the capital.
The European Union’s ambassador to Morocco, Dimiter Tzantchev, sees it as “one of the liveliest expressions of the partnership between the European Union and Morocco.”
The formula has not moved, and the creations born on this stage will be played nowhere else.
