This year’s lineup is so good, even your coolest friend will be impressed.

Marrakech – From July 3 to 12, Jazzablanca festival is rolling out its 18th edition, and the lineup is chef’s kiss. 

The latest names to join the party? Music royalty Salif Keïta, neo-soul magician Jordan Rakei, Tunisian queen of experimental folk Emel, Algerian rap game-changer Tif, and jazz-meets-hip-hop genius Alfa Mist.

If you’re the type who wants more than just good music — think artsy vibes, late-night convos, and a scene so effortlessly cool you’ll wonder if you accidentally walked into a movie — then Le Village is your place. 

Running from July 6 to 9, it promises four nights of pure musical magic.

Let’s break it down:

July 6: Salif Keïta, aka the golden voice of Africa, will have you swaying to his acoustic mastery.

July 7: Emel, the voice of a generation, opens the night before Jordan Rakei takes you on a neo-soul-jazz-R&B rollercoaster.

July 9: Alfa Mist, the UK jazz prodigy, serves up smooth piano-infused beats, followed by Tif, the rapper reinventing live hip-hop performances.

So, should you grab those festival tickets? If you love good music, good vibes, and a chance to be that friend who discovers the next big thing first — yes, absolutely. 

See you at Le Village!
