Old Town School at the Dakhla Festival 2009: Folk Diplomacy in Morroco

So these are some very cool videos by my friend Nashma Carrera formerly of the Old Town School of Folk Music
featuring Chris Walz (also from the Old Town) on the banjo. This is from a trip to the Dakhla Festival in Morroco
funded by the MacArthur Foundation to build a relationship between the Old Town and the Casablanca Music
Conservatory along with finding new groups to bring to the school for their ongoing world music series. This is a
French/Morrocan band, I cant really tell you the name, but they are really cool. If you like these Nashma has a lot more really awsome
that I didn't post here but you should definitely check out.
