Goulmima - This year will be the 13th edition of the Mawazine festival in Morocco. Held in the capital, Rabat, it sends a message of peace to the world and celebrates diversity through rhythms performed by musical artists.
Each year in June, Morocco invites celebrities and ordinary people to spend 6 days of entertainment while enjoying Morocco’s generous hospitality.
This year, the closing ceremony on June 7th will feature the performance of Saudi star Mohammed Abdou on the Nahda Stage, which is designated especially for Arab artists.
Mohammed Abdou, given the name ‘The Artist of the Arabs,’ by the late Tunisian president Lehbib Bourgiba, is a Saudi singer who made his first public appearance in the 1960s at the age of 12.
Mohammed spent most of his childhood in an orphanage with his two siblings and their mother, working hard and studying at the same time. When his mother died, Mohammed felt that he had lost his reason to live, But he persevered through the pain and became a very famous singer who vowed to maintain the “traditional inherited music.”
His songs, known to be romantic and calm, are highly appreciated by young and old generations. Al El-Amakin, Mudhila are two of his most successful songs that became so popular that even perfumes were named after them.
