National Outar Festival

The fourth edition of the national Loutar festival, a stringed musical instrument, authentically Moroccan and from the lute family, will take place from 20 to 22 June in Settat (instead of 25 to 27 June), indicates a press release from the organisers.

Several Moroccan artists will follow one another on the stage of the Settat municipality esplanade as part of this edition organised by the "Deep Morocco for Heritage Preservation" Association, in partnership with the provincial council, under the theme "Heritage at the service of national identity".

"Renaissance of a heritage" is the theme of the second edition of the National Outar Festival, which will take place from 12 to 14 October in Settat, at the initiative of the Maroc Profond Association for the preservation of heritage.
This edition will pay tribute to artists who have chosen the Outar as their instrument of choice. This includes, in particular, Ouhachem Bouâzama from Mellaâb, near Rissani, and Cheikh Aouissa, as well as the duo Kachbal and Zaroual, who chose the Outar during the 70s and 80s.
