From December 28-29, 2019 the 5th edition of the Jazz Sous l’ Arganier Festival will take place in Essaouira. Under the Argan Tree will bring together jazz musicians from all over Europe, Cuba, and the African continent. The event is hosted annually by the Essaouira Mogador Association. Details are yet to be confirmed however the brassy woodwind sounds of the saxophone and trumpet are certain to spread the holiday spirit throughout the Moroccan 18th-century port city.
The concert will take place in the Dar Souiri riad. The magnificent house is dedicated to the arts, music, and literary culture. It is the official headquarters of the Essaouira-Mogador Association. In addition to attending Dar Souiri for concerts and exhibitions, the space hosts language classes, and storytelling hours for children.
