The twenty-seventh session of the Fez Sacred Music Festival is honored to welcome the star Sami Youssef during an unforgettable concert on May 25, 2024 in Bab El Makina at 9 pm.
The Fez World Sacred Music Festival is an event that celebrates the diversity and richness of spiritual music traditions around the world. Since its inception in 1994, the festival has welcomed world-famous artists and audiences from around the world, within the historical and spiritual setting of Fez, Morocco.
The twenty-seventh session of the festival, scheduled to be held in May 2024, is expected to be exceptional with the announcement of the presence of Sami Youssef, one of the icons of contemporary spiritual music. With over 45 million albums sold and concerts attracting crowds in the hundreds of thousands, Sami Youssef brings global fame and an aura of celebrity to this already prestigious event.
Sami Youssef, often described as “the biggest music star in the Muslim world” by Time magazine and a “superstar” by the BBC, is an artist who transcends cultural and musical boundaries. His ability to harmoniously integrate diverse musical genres such as qawwali, Sufi music, Persian and Western classical music and flamenco, is a testament to his exceptional talent and innovative approach to music.
In this edition of the festival, Sami Youssef plans to incorporate a strong flamenco element into his compositions, echoing the theme of the cycle associated with Spain. This fusion promises to enrich the musical and spiritual experience of the festival, offering viewers a unique and unforgettable show.
Sami Youssef’s concert is scheduled to take place on May 25, 2024 at Bab El-Laha, an emblematic venue in Fez that has witnessed artists from all spiritual musical traditions. This will be the artist’s third participation in the festival, which he considers a “return to his roots” and an “enchanting” experience.
The Fez World Sacred Music Festival is more than just a music event; It is a celebration of harmony, peace and spirituality. It provides a platform where cultural differences are not only accepted but also celebrated, and where music becomes a universal language that unites people. Sami Youssef’s presence in 2024 will only amplify this mission, bringing his voice and vision to the crossroads of music and spirituality.
