15:15 > 15:45 | Dakka Simo & Chaimae
In the purest tradition of dakka marrakchiya, the musicians of the band will make you dance and shiver to the rhythms and songs that are found in the processions accompanying celebrations. A ritual and folk musical form, the art of the Dakka straddles religious incantation and African trance. Eventhough this practice is considered profane, the dakka takes on a sacred character and sets the tone for an unforgettable moment under the sign of celebration and trance.
