The Essaouira Gnawa Festival Drama

Nora Fouari, editor-in-chief of Hnews, raises an important question. What has 24 years of performances at the Essaouira Gnawa Festival actually given to artists like Mustafa Bakbou, who has been an integral part of this festival since the very beginning? So? It seems that the festival has mainly enhanced the image of the organizers and VIPs, leaving the artists struggling and without much support.
