Wonder Villains Band in Marrakesh For the first time in Morocco the British Pop band " Wonder Villains" from Derry, Ireland, performed in Marrakech on the night of the 30th June . The Moroccan public especially young Moroccan musicians and artists had also the chance to meet Eimear, Ryan, Ceilin and Kieran during a round table to discuss the life as young professional musician in today's competitive music industry. "Wonder Villains, the definitive makers of new Northern Ireland pop and more than up for it "are refreshingly, utterly without pretence or guile as they sing songs about stuff that genuinely excite them, such as Peter Petrelli from Heroes ("Oh Peter"), Gianfranco Zola ("Zola") and the film Space Jam(er, 'Space Jam')" states out AU Magazine. This event goes along the British Council's aim to facilitate intercultural dialogue through artistic expression. Art is a powerful vehicle for people to communicate across and between cultures and this is an opportunity for young Moroccans to exchange experiences with their British counterparts as well as each other to gain ideas about how music can facilitate dialogue and a greater social inclusion. |
