New York’s annual music extravaganza globalFEST presented 10 acts on three stages at Lincoln Center on January 15, 2023. Khadija el Warzazia’s Bnat el Houariyat from Marrakesh, Morocco, presented an entrancing set of chaabi and houari music, rarely heard on these shores, in the Promenade. Dancer Esraa Warda, an apprentice of Khadija’s, added a delightful element and insight into the music. Here’s a sample, filmed from the balcony above the performance.
