From traditional dress and anasheed to comedy and harira – the very first Bladi Festival promises to be a vibrant celebration of Morocco’s rich and diverse culture. On Saturday 6 September, Muziekgebouw Eindhoven will transform into a bustling souk for one day only, featuring authentic crafts, live performances and even a special ladies-only area. Of course, the mouth-watering Moroccan food and drinks won’t be missing either. Whether your roots lie in Morocco or you’re simply curious to explore the culture – this family-friendly festival will make you feel like you’ve stepped straight into Marrakesh!

The programme will be announced on this page in the coming weeks. Are you an entrepreneur interested in hosting a stall at the souk, or would you like to take the stage with a performance?
Then please contact the organisation.

Marmoucha Orchestra with Mehdi Nassouli

Sonic Bridges

In Sonic Bridges, Marmoucha Orchestra and guembri master Mehdi Nassouli join forces in a captivating blend of fiery Gnawa and contemporary jazz. After years of collaboration, a unique synergy emerged — one that seamlessly fuses tradition and innovation. Marmoucha Orchestra combines modern styles with musical traditions from Southwest Asia and North Africa. Mehdi Nassouli, known for his hypnotic guembri playing and powerful voice, brings the Gnawa tradition to life in a distinctive mix with jazz, classical, and pop.
