Hassan Erraji, Marokko, engl.
     
  A Musician who tells tales or a storyteller making music?  
 
 



Hassan Erraji tells stories from the Berber mountains, Arabian folk tales, animal and other stories that he wrote or learned from the elderly of his comunity where this tradition is part of every day life.

As a young boy, Hassan used to regularly go to the famous square of Jamaaa Al Fna in Marrakesh and avidly listend and memorised the fascinating stories from 1001 Nights, Joha and Dadda Lfahim, told and acted live on the square by popular storytellers of the time.

Marrakesh city is well known for its rich and diverse stories, tales, fables, its infectious music and humour, all of wich greatly marked Hassan´s life and future profession.

Hassan´s story programme is wide ranging and colorful, with traditional music/songs supporting and illustrating, but not overshadowing, the stories as they unfold. Stories that capture the ausience´s imagination, sometimes funny other times less so, tales that make you live in a world of magic and fantasy for a while, initiate questions about the human race or lack of it, make dream and much more...
