Amazingh Festival brings Amazigh Music to Morocco's coast

The first edition of the Amazingh Taghazout Bay Festival will take place from August 2 to 10 in Taghazout Bay (Agadir), offering an immersive experience celebrating musical diversity.

An inspired combination of «Amazigh» and «Amazing», Amazingh aims to be a fusion reflecting a balance between the region's cultural heritage and the extraordinary experience the festival promises to deliver, according to Seven PM, the event organizers. Over nine days, festivalgoers can enjoy more than 18 concerts.

To set the tone, the inaugural edition features a line-up of renowned artists including Gims, Dadju, Julian Marley, Lartiste, Oum, Gnawa Diffusion, Mehdi Nassouli, Mehdi Qamoum, Sarah & Ismael, Africa Band - Moroccan Tribute To Pink Floyd, Fehd Benchemsi & The Lallas, and Jubantouja, with more acts to be revealed later.

Meanwhile, «The Taghazout Bay Village» will be a vibrant living space for visitors and locals, located in Tawenza Square, just 20 meters from the main stage. A food court featuring food trucks offering local and international cuisine will be available, alongside a designer space and a gaming zone.

The organizers of the Amazingh Taghazout Bay Festival are leveraging this first edition to establish the event as a permanent fixture in the region's summer calendar, celebrating its rich cultural and creative heritage.
