Mawazine ("Rhythms")[1] is a festival of world music that takes place annually in the Moroccan capital of Rabat, featuring Arab and international music icons. There have many Mawazines since the beginning in 2001.
Mawazine is one of several events which are intended to promote an image of Morocco as a tolerant nation, with a post on the event's website declaring that the festival intends to promote and "support Rabat, as a city open to the world".[2][3] However, it is controversial as some of the country's Muslim politicians have criticised the event for also "encouraging immoral behaviour".[2][4] Artists such as Mariah Carey, Najwa Karam, Shakira, Mika, Sugababes Stevie Wonder, Kylie Minogue and Alicia Keys have performed at Mawazine.
