Rabat- Former lead singer of the indie rock group Gossip, Beth Ditto is among the headliners of the 13th edition of Jazzablanca in April.
Though the official organizers of the festival have not yet announced the performers, Ditto beat them to it and broke the news on her official website.
The 13th edition of Jazzablanca will take place April 14 to 22. The official schedule and talent lineup is expected to be announced next month.
The American singer and songwriter has been compared to Etta James, Janis Joplin and Tina Turner and often describes herself as a “fat, feminist lesbian from Arkansas.”
She will join the ranks of innovative artists who previously performed at Jazzablanca, including Pink Martini, Aaron and LP.
Launched in 2006, Jazzablanca is an international festival of jazz and contemporary music held each April in Casablanca. The 9-day festival brings together thousands of music lovers at two venues with four stages.
