2009 Gnaoua Music Festival: Essaouira, Morocco

This was my favorite act of the festival: Maleem Mahmoud Guinea, Afoxe Loni and Stephane Belmondo. AMAZING African song and dance...This particular stage is on a peninsula, so that;s the sea both behind and in front of the stage, and a view of the citadel can be seen as well. The gentleman in red who dances briefly at the end has on a fez (one of those traditional African hats with a tassle) and the entire band keeps those swinging as they play their instruments- though you cant really make it out in the video. Its almost hypnotic!
