Bab L’Bluz, Presented in collaboration with Habibi Festival
Bab L’ Bluz is a Franco-Moroccan band blending psychedelic rock with traditional Gnawa and Hassani influences. Formed in Marrakech in 2018 by Moroccan vocalist/guitarist Yousra Mansour and French guitarist/producer Brice Bottin, the group draws inspiration from 60s and 70s analog sounds while creating a modern, powerful repertoire.

About Habibi Festival
Created with the goal of giving a snapshot of contemporary and traditional musics of the South West Asia North Africa (SWANA) region, Habibi Festival aims to take listeners on a journey of the sounds wafting through the airwaves and living rooms of cities spanning Marrakech to Baghdad. This new performing arts festival is a collaboration between the Director of Joe's Pub at the Public Theater Alex Knowlton, artist/composer/curator Yacine Boulares, and curator/producer Meera Dugal who are bonded by the goal of creating more joyful spaces for performance, conversation, and storytelling from this part of the world. The festival aims to position music from this region as living, breathing, and evolving art forms - that even ancient traditions are having new lives breathed into them with contemporary artists.
