Manifestation culturelle pour célébrer l’amitié indo-marocaine

Embassy of India, Rabat, in association with Moroccan-Indian Friendship Association, organized an « Indian Melody » evening on 19 February at Youth Club Aljoulane, Casablanca, to commemorate 75 Glorious Years of Indian Independence and to celebrate strong Indian-Moroccan friendship.

         The event witnessed many Moroccan artists come together to sing and dance on Bollywood music. Artists also paid a special tribute to Lata Mangeshkar, « Nightingale of India » who has sung more than 25000 songs in various Indian and foreign languages. She had passed away earlier this month in India at the age of 92.
