Ifrane, September 24, 2010 – It’s not every day that Al Akhawayn students get to play live in concert with an international music star. But that’s what happened in Ifrane on September 23 as U.S-based performer Houda El Idrissi, Class of 1999, played live with students following a 2-week campus residency that energized young Al Akhawayn musicians with world-class performance styles and techniques.
“I am totally amazed at the skill and energy of these students, and thrilled to be here and play a part in encouraging art at Al Akhawayn,” said El Idrissi (whose stage name is “Drissy”) in a pre-concert interview.
“I am also proud to be an alumna of this incredible place – students from all over Morocco and around the world playing guitar, keyboards, bass, bongos, singing back-up vocals, and more, all together; our drummer is even an American exchange student!”
