PanARMENIAN.Net - The 17th World Sacred Music Festival kicked off
June 3 in Fes, Morocco.
Under the artistic direction of the Morocco-reared and Paris-based

musical traditions that included vocalists and percussionists from
Europe, Africa, South Asia, Iran and Mongolia. It featured percussion
of Shanghai, drums of Japan, Armenian wind instrument duduk and
Maghrib's stringed instrument oud.
The musical diversity of the opera, specially commissioned for the
occasion, set an ideal stage for performances that would follow.
Besides local artists, performers from several nations, including
Afghanistan, Brazil, Ethiopia, France, India, Italy, Pakistan,
Senegal, Spain and the U.S., are taking part in the 10-day festival,
which ends on June 12, Arab News reported.
