Visa For Music 2025
Created in 2014, Visa for Music is the first music festival and market in Africa and the Middle East, held every year over 4 days in November in Rabat, Morocco, on the initiative of ANYA Culture, a Moroccan cultural engineering structure, and Atlas Azawan, an association for the promotion of culture and heritage.
Program
This event, dedicated to promoting the world's musical diversity, with a particular focus on Africa and the Middle East, is a crucial platform for artists, music professionals and players in the Creative and Cultural Industries (CCI). It provides a space for meetings, the exchange of ideas and the creation of fruitful collaborations. Every year, Visa For Music transforms Rabat into a vibrant cultural crossroads, bringing together artists, professionals and festival-goers around a rich and eclectic programme. Showcases, urban parades, ceremonies and open-air entertainment punctuate the four-day celebration, offering a unique platform for discovery, exchange and collaboration for the African and international music scene. Visa For Music is also a professional market, bringing together the key players in the African and international music industry. It offers a unique space for networking, collaboration and project development, bringing together artists, producers, labels, programmers, media and cultural institutions. Through its trade fair, speed meetings and forum, Visa For Music fosters the emergence of new talent, the sharing of expertise and the structuring of cultural and creative industries. Alongside its official programme, Visa For Music is developing an OFF Programme, enriching the festival experience through collaborations, artistic residencies and cultural initiatives. This evolving and flexible OFF Programme enables Visa For Music to meet the expectations of its partners while enriching the festival's cultural offering, consolidating its role as a key platform for music and creativity in Africa and the Middle East.
