The Musical Heritage of Morocco : Fatima Zahafa فاطمة الزحافة

Fatima Zahafa was a great Moroccan singer originally from Settat. Her fame is to be attributed, in ddition to the numerous songs engraved during her career, to the great success obtained by the song "Zaoiua" made in 1965. The Zouia (a Muslim religious building) to which the song refers is that of the town Of Sidi Smaïl located not far from Settat.
Though suffering from a serious disability, the singer did not spare and has been constantly performing during her life at celebrations, weddings and official events in her hometown.
As has often happened to other Moroccan artists she died in a state of extreme poverty in complete denial of the great artistic contribution she has given to her country






Fatima Zahafa è stata una grandissima cantante marocchina originaria della città di Settat. La sua fama è da imputarsi, oltre che alle numerose canzoni incise nel corso della sua carriera, al grande successo ottenuto dal brano “ Zaoiua” realizzato nel 1965. La Zouia ( un edificio religioso musulmano) a cui fa riferimento il brano è quella della cittadina di Sidi Smaïl situata non lontano da Settat.
Pur se affetta da una grave disabilità la cantante non si risparmiata e si è esibita costantemente nel corso della sua vita in feste, matrimoni ed eventi ufficiali della sua città natale.
Come molto spesso è capitato ad altri artisti marocchini è deceduta in una condizione di estrema povertà in totale spregio al grande contributo artistico che ha dato alla sua terra.

The Nile Project

Through an innovative approach combining music and education, the Nile Project addresses the cultural and environmental challenges that are at the root of conflicts along the banks of the Nile. It is not therefore a simple musical group, but a real active collective for the safeguarding and the human and cultural development of the interested populations which, according to the group's words, "inspires, educates and exhorts Nile citizens to work together To promote the sustainability of their river's ecosystem. "

On their beautiful site ( http://nileproject.org), you can find detailed information about the project's goals and the results already achieved as well as all the details about the music group.

From the strictly musical point of view, the group produced in 2013 a first live album entitled "Aswan", followed by a second album titled "Jinja" in 2017. For some time, the third album is expected to be "Tana".
