Paris des Arts: Special edition in Fez, Morocco

This week, Paris des Arts turns its cameras to Fez, the Moroccan imperial city, for the 29th edition of the Festival of World Sacred Music, which celebrates the dialogue between cultures and spiritualities.

Singer Nabyla Maan shares her passion for traditional Moroccan music and its Arab-Andalusian rhythms. "This music flows through my veins; it's in my DNA. Something happens deep inside me when I perform this music – it's mystical," she says.

We also meet pianist Rami Khalifé, a member of the trio L'Antidote. "For me, music is a political act; it's an act of resistance," he tells us. "Being able to go on stage and be myself is a way to escape from a life that can feel burdensome."

Finally, a local guide walks us through the sprawling medina of Fez, a city within a city!
