Transcript

00:00Welcome to Média TV and Zoom in this cultural chronicle on the 22nd edition of the Tanjaj Festival.

00:16And as you can see, dear viewers, we are at the Palais des Institutions Italiennes

00:22which obviously hosts all the concerts scheduled for this edition.

00:27And we are more precisely next to one of the new scenes created for this 22nd edition of the Tanjaj Festival.

00:36And to talk about it, I have the pleasure of having with me Moulay Ahmed El Alami, president of Tanjaj.

00:43Moulay Ahmed El Alami, thank you very much for accepting our invitation.

00:47So, as I said, a new scene. What can you tell us about this new arrangement here at the Palais des Institutions Italiennes?

00:55Yesterday, we started with the opening of the Palais des Arts.

00:58And every year, we try to bring small novelties, both in the way of living the festival and in the experience of the festivalgoers.

01:07So, it is very important for us to offer people moments of sharing in good conditions.

01:13So, the Pasio scene will host the first concert at the Palais des Institutions Italiennes

01:18with a dance class accompanied by great musicians, Sugar Pie and Candyman.

01:24And every day, so Friday and Saturday, we will be on this scene to start.

01:29And then we will do the closing, the jam sessions that come back to the Palais des Institutions Italiennes in this very beautiful space.

01:36And then we will live between the inside and the outside.

01:39We will have fanfares outside, the two concerts on the big stage, the BMCI stage.

01:43And then we will have here, on the Volkswagen stage that you see behind me, the more jazz, more intimate concerts.

01:52So, the two spaces will cohabit.

01:54This is also a first in jazz time, because before it was the big concert on the big stage.

01:58And then people will go inside.

02:00There, the two spaces will cohabit.

02:02So, we will offer people the possibility to stay in the two spaces.

02:05So, spaces of restoration, of relaxation.

02:08They will be able to rest here or there.

02:10And so, spend from 8 p.m. to 3 a.m. all their evening discovering artists.

02:17We have Moulatou Astatke who will open tonight, a legend of Ethiopian jazz.

02:21It has always been a desire to highlight this very African jazz.

02:26And here we have a great opportunity, because this scene, you will see, it has grown.

02:31There are new ways to experience the concerts.

02:34It will be standing concerts, not sitting concerts like before.

02:37So, we brought back more festive bands.

02:39The Gypsy King, Kezia Jones.

02:41So, it will dance, it will move in all directions.

02:44And it's not the only place of the festival, because then we will go to the public stage.

02:49The fanfares continue to walk in the alleys of Casbah and Medina.

02:53And so, we have a course that is really nice for people.

02:56It's a mix of paid and free.

02:59A mix of styles of music, of times.

03:03Between the swing of the 50s, 60s, 70s.

03:06And this new modern jazz, embodied by Leon Fall, who is a brilliant Swiss jazzman.

03:15Who combines electronic music and jazz.

03:18So, really, we will have very different facets of jazz, blues too.

03:22We have very good band musicians.

03:24So, we have about twenty bands that will come together.

03:28Young talents, people of jazz, people of other musical styles.

03:32So, it's really a very different journey.

03:35And then there are our hotel partners who also participate in the party.

03:40And so, we try to involve as many people as possible.

03:43At the same time, on the spaces that we mainly occupy.

03:50The Palais des Institutions Italiennes is part of the history of jazz time.

03:54So, we maintain it, but we diversify it.

03:56We change the experience of people.

03:58I wanted to talk to you about that.

04:00The Palais des Institutions Italiennes.

04:02It is beautiful, it is grandiose.

04:04There is a lot of space.

04:06Is it what makes it easier for you, perhaps?

04:08Better layout, a better fluidity between these scenes inside the Palais.

04:14Because it's a special setting.

04:16And of course, the space that we had the chance to see.

04:20Which is the new space of the great scene, which is the village.

04:25We can actually talk about villages in jazz time.

04:28Well, there will be two villages.

04:30So, two very different experiences.

04:32And what you were saying is that the Palais has its charm, of course.

04:36And that's what makes it the identity of the festival.

04:39It is to be in a very beautiful patio, in a Andalusian Palais.

04:44With its riads and its spaces.

04:46But it also has its constraints.

04:48Mobility, echo, accessibility of people, instruments, things like that.

04:54But it also allows to have this authenticity.

04:59Which is very important.

05:01This side a little retro.

05:02So we keep with the swing groups, etc.

05:05And a more open, more modern side with the outdoor gardens.

05:08So we have this diversity that allows us to play.

05:12Now the fact of playing inside, outside.

05:14So there are rooms that are closed.

05:17At the same time, there are constraints.

05:19For example, on one of the rooms that needs work.

05:22So we have to close it to the public for their safety.

05:25So we adapt to the different constraints.

05:27To try to make a programming that adapts to each scene.

05:30For example, if you're going to have intimate jazz,

05:32you're not going to put it on a big stage.

05:34It's going to be destructive for the artist.

05:36And a bad experience for the festival.

05:38So we really adapt our programming to the atmosphere,

05:41to the atmosphere of the place, of the space, of the people,

05:44of the atmosphere we want to bring them.

05:46Thank you very much for accepting our invitation.

05:50I know we can stay for hours talking about this festival.

05:53But in any case...

05:55We have hours to think about it too.

05:57Thank you very much for accepting our invitation.

05:59And I remind you that the festival continues until Sunday.

06:03Here at the Palais des Institutions Italiennes.

06:07Thank you, dear viewers, for your loyalty.

06:09Stay with us.

06:10The information continues on our different channels.

06:12Median TV Arabic, Median TV Maghreb, Median TV Africa.

06:15And of course on medianews.com
