The Casa Anfa stage was marked by masterful performances by the British group UB40 and Paolo Nutini, Scottish pop prodigy. The group UB40 celebrated its 45th birthday on the Casa Anfa stage, accompanied by an audience who chanted the words of “I can’t help falling in love with you”. The Scottish pop rock phenomenon: Paolo Nutini, who is performing for the first time in Morocco, offered festival-goers a memorable performance.

On the United Nations Square, the press release continued, the Nouveau Souffle by Société Générale stage welcomed Anass Oublaid ft. Raw Rhythm and The Leïla, two groups who came to celebrate the richness of Moroccan musical heritage.
