Moroccan Star Douzi to Take the Stage at Harvard

Douzi’s next stop isn’t a concert, it’s America’s renowned Harvard University.

Fez– Abdelhafid Douzi is packing more than just his signature charm and timeless tracks, he’s heading to Boston to represent Moroccan music at the prestigious Harvard Arab Conference, running from April 11 to 13, 2025.

This annual event isn’t your average academic gathering. It’s one of North America’s most dynamic intellectual and cultural forums, bringing together visionaries from across the Arab world: think policymakers, artists, entrepreneurs, and changemakers, all in one place.

And this year, among the line-up of global Arab voices, stands Douzi, the Moroccan pop icon with over 30 years in the music game.

On April 12, Douzi will take part in a special fireside-style session titled “A Direct Conversation with Douzi: Dialogue with the Ambassador of Moroccan Music.”

It’s not just a talk, it’s a deep dive into the journey of a boy from Oujda who turned passion into a pan-Arab phenomenon.

Expect stories of resilience, reinvention, and the roadblocks he turned into rhythms.

Douzi took to Instagram to share the news, radiating pride and gratitude:

“It’s a great honor to be invited to speak at the Arab Conference at Harvard– one of the most prestigious universities in the world.

I’ll be sharing my artistic journey and glimpses into my personal life. This moment crowns 30 years of a career filled with both challenges and triumphs…”

And he won’t be the only name lighting up the Harvard stage. The guest list reads like a “who’s who” of Arab excellence.

Businessman Mohamed Hadid will speak on family and career success while Jordanian director Tima Shomali will unpack the evolving image of Arabs in global media.

Fashion designer Tony Ward will explore how art and style shape cultural narratives, and entrepreneur Alya Mahmoud will take the mic to discuss social innovation and the future of Arab enterprise.

In short, it’s a celebration of bold ideas, creative power, and cultural pride, with Douzi there to remind everyone that everything is possible.
