Soon I'll be leaving for Morocco for the Fes Festival of World Sacred Music, where I'll be hearing truly diverse performances by such artists as William Christie and Les Arts Florissants, Yungchen Lhamo, Jordi Savall, Salif Keita, and a host of others, including the late-night Sufi samaa which is always a highlight for me personally.
This year's visit will certainly be enhanced by the presence of some good friends making their first trek to Fes, including the blogger of Night After Night. MMFCC will also be coming for a few days; it will be his first trip to the festival, though he has quite distinct memories of a cold, rainy, wintertime visit to the city with me some six years ago.
I hope to do a bit of blogging & picture posting from Morocco, but we'll see how realistic that aspiration is in the coming days.
