Morocco. ‘Gateway to Africa’—The North
Description
Three friends - Nouamane Lahloua, a rock star and producer from Morocco; Hassan Hakmoun, a master Gnawa musician; and Laurent LeGall, a film director and producer - meet in Casablanca to travel the length of Morocco and experience the land first hand. Starting in the metropolis of Casablanca, the team joins them as they travel north to Tangiers at the tip of Africa and across from Spain. The music of the Amazir people draws them to the painted city of Chefchaouen, the jewel of the Rif Mountains. We seek to understand the historic and modern importance of these cities, while experiencing it through the people’s story, one told through its arts, culture, and music.
