Joudia Belkabir – A Rising Star

Joudia Belkabir was born in Marrakech, Morocco, and still has fond memories of her favorite singer Edith Piaf and her love for music from an early age. It seems that music is in her genes as her grandfather is a well known composer, who wrote the song “Lalla Rita” and her uncle is also in the music industry. Even though she herself was uncertain about launching a career in music, an opportunity to compete in the Studio 2M changed the direction of her life completely and encouraged her to follow her dreams.

Tamnougalt – A Fascinating and Inspiring Destination

The village of Tamnougalt in the Draa River Valley of Morocco at one time served as a hub for Saharan import and export trade which was controlled by an influential group of families who also collected taxes from local agriculturists and small industries. The name Tamngougalt means “meeting point” in the Tachelhit dialect of Tamazight languages and a meeting point is exactly what this village was in the past. Today, however, Tamnougalt is a sleepy village and an interesting tourist attraction that boasts an impressive Kasbah and many other fascinating structures.
