Ensemble Lâabat de Benslimane and Florencia Oz - Alain Weber's concerts
The inaugural evening of the Rabat edition takes place in front of the Art Explora boat, on the Bouregreg quay near the ancient Kasbah des Oudayas. An evening of music from the Moroccan tradition of ita and Abidat Errma to the Andalusian flamenco of one of Morocco's oldest museums.
The Lâabat group is made up of women from Benslimane, a town some 50 km north of Casablanca. For the dance, the women borrowed the "lqâada" barrel dance, which uses half a barrel originally used as a basin for washing wool. The dance imitates the trampling of wool during washing, adding a musical rhythm to these foot movements, with steps and claps reminiscent of fado or flamenco. The women's songs are texts of complaint or lament, often of broken love or lament evoking the separation from one's loved ones.
The great Chilean-born dancer Florencia Oz, a member of Rafaela Carrasco's company and then David Coria's, is also pursuing a solo career that has been rewarded by several competitions and festivals.
She will be performing with the Lâabat ensemble.
