SUMMARY:AZA - Amazight music from Morocco in concert
DESCRIPTION:\n\n\nPalenke Arts proudly presents AZA band in concert - Amazi
 ght music from Morocco\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPalenke Arts proudly presents  AZA ban
 d in concert - Amazight music from Morocco .\n\nAZA unites traditional Tam
 azight music\, indigenous to the Atlas Mountains of Morocco\, with the glo
 bal influences of its diverse members. Evocative of Saharan-African blues\
 , yet with an original style that truly defies categorization\, AZA’s st
 irring performances feature deep\, danceable rhythms\, intricate string me
 lodies\, and soaring\, soulful vocals. Visually dynamic and engaging perfo
 rmers\, AZA has been inspiring international audiences for more than 20 ye
 ars.\n\nFounding members Fattah Abbou and Mohamed Aoualou are Imazighen na
 tive to the High Atlas mountain region of Morocco\, where they played and 
 studied music for over twenty-five years\, and are recognized as master mu
 sicians. They formed the sextet AZA in Santa Cruz\, California\, after mov
 ing to the United States eight years ago. The unique exchange between the 
 High Atlas and Californian musicians has proved potent\; AZA has produced 
 two albums of original compositions\, and performed at music festivals\, c
 lubs\, and universities around the United States and abroad in Ireland\, C
 anada\, and Morocco.\n\nAZA’s endeavors are not limited to music. The Im
 azighen (incorrectly labeled "Berber")\, are the indigenous people of Nort
 h Africa whose recorded history dates back to 3300 years ago. Fattah and M
 ohamed have always been part of the Amazigh movement and struggle to reviv
 e a culture that has been marginalized for centuries. Through music and cu
 ltural events\, AZA continues to inspire awareness in people of all ages a
 bout the Amazigh culture\, that it may be recognized and appreciated among
  the indigenous cultures of the world.\n\n\n
