Rabat - Australian rapper Amethyst Amelia Kelly, known professionally as Iggy Azalea, was caught on tape visiting the artisanal and antique shops in the old medina of Rabat ahead of her performance in the Mawazine Festival, scheduled on Saturday, May 21 at 8:45 P.M.
In a short video posted on Friday on the festival’s official Facebook page, the Australian rapper was filmed looking at the traditional sandals presented at the entrance of the shops.
Dressed in a casual black T-shirt, sunglasses, and a black cap that covers part of her face, the 26-year-old Australian rapper wandered through the streets of the old medina nearly unnoticed.
Given her high profile as one of the most talented rappers in the world, and her first performance in Morocco, Azalea will make a striking mark on the stage of the OLM Souissi.
Released in 2014, Azalea’s first album “The New Classic” is at the top of major rankings. Her single “Fancy” was at the top of the Billboard Hot 100 and allowed Azalea to become the fourth solo rapper to reach this place.
A Maroc Cultures Association initiative created on October 23 is part of an approach promoting openness to cultures by offering the public a musical journey to the four corners of the planet.
Every year since 2001, the Mawazine Festival-Rhythms of the World has been organized by Maroc Cultures Association, inviting many artists, Moroccans, and the biggest international celebrities to entertain a big number of fans.
With over 2 million festivalgoers for each past edition, it is ranked the second greatest cultural event in the world.
