Gnawa is the music of the descendants of the slaves who were brought to Morocco from "black Africa."  Essaouira has been hosting this festival since 1998.  The reputation of this picturesque port town of being laid back yet vibrant and atmospheric make it the perfect venue for a festival devoted to this enchanting style of music.  The music incorporates a mix of African and Islamic rituals, the mesmerizing rhythms of drums, guenbri (a form of lute) and hand-held garagab (metal castanets).  Artists appearing at the festival include the best musicians of the genre as well as players of jazz, pop, rock, and contemporary music.

Imilchil hosts annually the Fiancé Festival where up to 40 couples come together as husband and wife.  The festival features Berber musical performances and excellent shopping in the markets especially created for the festival. According to legend, a man and woman from two local tribes fell in love, but were forbidden by their families to marry. They cried themselves to death, creating the lakes of Issly (his) and Tisslit (hers) near Imilchil. The families were so devastated by this, they created a day on the anniversary of the lovers’ death to which members of the two tribes could marry.
During the festival women from villages all over Morocco are made up in traditional dress as the husbands search for their perfect match. If the groom is successful, the woman says ‘You captured my liver’ and the match is settled
