The first session of the “Fawzion” festival in Tangier lived in a widespread controversy after a surprising step was canceled, which was expected to combine Najat Atabo and Abdel Aziz Al -Satati, yesterday evening, which raised a wave of discontent and questions among the public.
The cancellation decision came just hours before the start of the evening, which was expected with great passion by the fans of the popular song, especially as it would have combined two of the most prominent names in the Moroccan art scene.
In the first official comment on the event, the daughter of the artist Najat Atabou, who is responsible for managing her business, came out with a video clip in which she confirmed that the cancellation is not due to a position of artists, but rather to what she described as “the lack of commitment to the festival management with the terms of the contract concluded between the two parties.”
The spokeswoman explained, through the video, that her mother came to the city of Tangier the day before yesterday, Monday, in preparation for the revival of the ceremony, like the artist Abdel Aziz Al -Satati, but the conditions of the organization and their failure to reach their dues, as she put it, immediately from ascending to the podium.
She added that the artist Najat Atabou was very excited to meet her fans in Tangier, and that she was regretted what happened, stressing that the responsibility rests with the festival management, and not to the artists.
This sudden cancellation opened the door to many questions about the readiness of the organizing committee for the first session of this nascent festival, and the extent of its respect for the contractual and technical obligations, especially after the confusion that the decision left in the ranks of the public and followers.
This incident comes to highlight the problems of organization that accompany some artistic demonstrations in Morocco, which negatively affects the image of local festivals and the confidence of artists and the public.
