InterPlay in Morocco

Diane Saliba Ault and Masankho Banda led a group of 20 InterPlayers (American and Australian) to Morocco June 3–15, 2008 on a mission of cultural exchange. They attended the Festival of World Sacred Music in Fes and met and played with extended family and friends of Diane’s son–in–law, Zouhair, in Rabat and Marakesh.
