The story

Visa For Music in Rabat

Visa For Music is an annual performing-arts festival and professional music market held each November in Rabat, Morocco, spotlighting contemporary musicians from Africa and the Middle East. Since 2014 a jury has sifted through more than a thousand applications to select around thirty acts for four days of concerts, panels and networking. It has become a key meeting point for artists, producers and festival programmers across the region.

Visa For Music began in 2014 as an answer to a persistent gap in the music industry: contemporary musicians from Africa and the Middle East had few dedicated platforms to showcase their work to international buyers, and few opportunities to meet the producers, label representatives and festival programmers who could carry their music to new audiences.

What is special

The part that makes it specific.

01

The place changes

What sets Visa For Music apart is its dual identity as both showcase and marketplace: alongside the thirty selected acts performing on real stages with professional sound and lighting, the festival runs conferences, speed-meetings and training sessions that connect emerging African and Middle Eastern artists directly with international bookers, label representatives and festival programmers

02

The mystery stays covered

Organizers cover staging, equipment and, for up to six members per group, accommodation and airport transfers, lowering the barrier for touring acts who might otherwise never reach Moroccan or European stages, making the event one of the region's most valuable launchpads for new music
