Sherine to Conclude 20th Mawazine Festival
Yara Sameh Egyptian superstar, Sherine Abdel-Wahab will conclude this year's Mawazine Festival. Mawazine is a Moroccan international music festival that began in 2001 and is hosting its 20th edition this year. As one of the largest music festivals in the world, Mawazine attracts more than 2.5 million attendees each year. This year's Mawazine festival is scheduled to be held from June 20 to 28 in Rabat, Morocco. Sherine is set to perform at the festival's stage, Nahda, on June 28. She is set to present several of her popular and latest songs. Born on October 8, 1980, Sherine Sayed Mohamed Abdel Wahab, known professionally as simply Sherine, is a singer, actress and music judge. She was first discovered as a child by her school music teacher, who convinced her mother to take her to the Cairo Opera House to meet veteran musician Selim Sahab. Abdel-Wahab served as a choral member at the Cairo Opera House from the age of nine to twelve and was then given a chance to become a solo singer. She kept performing at the Cairo Opera House while searching for a music producer to launch her music career. At the age of 18, Abdel-Wahab was introduced to director and music producer Nasr Mahrous, who liked her voice and decided to collaborate with her via his 'Free Music' production company, where she met with superstar, Tamer Hosny, who was also a new talent-seeking opportunity. Her first recorded song was released in 2002 as a part of an album that included works of other artists. The album was released, under the title 'Free Mix3: Tamer and Sherine' and was a big hit all across the entire Middle East and North Africa. It sold more than 20 Million copies across the whole MENA, particularly because of her single 'Ah ya Leil', which boosted her fame. read more New Tourism Route To Launch in Old Cairo Ahmed El Sakka-Led Play 'Sayidati Al Jamila' to Be Staged in KSA on Dec. 6 Mandy Moore Joins Season 2 of "Dr. Death" Anthology Series Don't Miss These Movies at 44th Cairo Int'l Film Festival Today Amr Diab to Headline KSA's MDLBEAST Soundstorm 2022 Festival Arts & Culture Mai Omar Stuns in Latest Instagram Photos Arts & Culture "The Flash" to End with Season 9 Arts & Culture Ministry of Culture Organizes four day Children's Film Festival Arts & Culture Canadian PM wishes Muslims Eid-al-Adha News China Launches Largest Ever Aircraft Carrier Sports Former Al Zamalek Player Ibrahim Shika Passes away after Long Battle with Cancer Lifestyle Get to Know 2025 Eid Al Adha Prayer Times in Egypt Sports Neymar Announced for Brazil's Preliminary List for 2026 FIFA World Cup Qualifiers News Prime Minister Moustafa Madbouly Inaugurates Two Indian Companies Arts & Culture New Archaeological Discovery from 26th Dynasty Uncovered in Karnak Temple Business Fear & Greed Index Plummets to Lowest Level Ever Recorded amid Global Trade War Arts & Culture Zahi Hawass: Claims of Columns Beneath the Pyramid of Khafre Are Lies News Flights suspended at Port Sudan Airport after Drone Attacks News Shell Unveils Cost-Cutting, LNG Growth Plan

Mawazine Turns 20.. A Moroccan Masterpiece of Music, Culture, and World-Class Organisation
As the curtain rises on the 2025 edition of Mawazine – Rhythms of the World, anticipation is reaching new heights across cultural circles. This year's festival doesn't merely mark two decades of existence; it redefines them, positioning Mawazine as not only a musical spectacle, but a global cultural institution that reflects Morocco's vibrant identity and its enduring openness to the world. According to exclusive insights obtained by Le Journal Alalam 24, the 20th anniversary edition—set to unfold from June 20 to 28 in Rabat—promises to be the most ambitious yet. Organisers are aiming higher than ever, assembling a formidable lineup of international superstars, iconic regional voices, and emerging Moroccan talent. Each element is carefully curated to deliver an unprecedented sonic journey across continents and genres. This landmark edition is being framed as both a tribute to Mawazine's rich history and a leap into its future. After two decades of exponential growth, the festival is being revitalised as a platform not just for performance, but for cultural storytelling on a global scale. Sources close to the organising committee report a massive mobilisation of resources to deliver a production that meets—and in many aspects surpasses—international festival standards. Stages will feature cutting-edge audio, lighting, and immersive technologies designed to elevate every performance into a full sensory experience. A robust media and communications strategy is also in motion, ensuring the festival resonates beyond Morocco's borders through comprehensive local and international coverage. The artistic program, set to be officially revealed in the coming weeks, is being hailed as the most eclectic in Mawazine's history. Festivalgoers can expect a sonic tapestry that spans pop, Latin, raï, Afrobeat, rap, hip-hop, classical, and Moroccan folklore—including the deep, trance-like rhythms of the Rif. This diversity is no accident. Mawazine's artistic philosophy has always rested on the belief that music is a universal language—capable of bridging cultures, fostering dialogue, and offering a shared emotional space in an increasingly divided world. But this year, the experience goes beyond the music. Organisers are implementing major upgrades to infrastructure and audience services, including expanded venues, streamlined accessibility, enhanced safety protocols, and the launch of an intuitive mobile app that allows users to navigate the schedule, locate stages, and book tickets in real time. In an era marked by social fractures and geopolitical tension, Mawazine is once again offering something radical: a vision of global unity through cultural exchange. From the heart of Rabat, the festival is set to broadcast Morocco's message of connection, tolerance, and artistic excellence to the world. Mawazine 2025 is not just a celebration—it is a statement. One that echoes far beyond the stage.
