  • Summary

  • Situated at the heart of Rabat the capital of Morocco, this recording captures the sounds of a lively market. What is unique about this market is that the sub-Saharan migrants have managed to set up small businesses side to side with the local Moroccan businesses. The market reflects a real sense of conviviality and closeness that is rarely seen in other parts of the country.

    The recording captures the sounds of a busy market in the capital of Morocco Rabat. Walking around the market with the recorder, I tried to catch different sounds, languages, dialects, and music from Morocco and different parts of the African continent. A melting pot of cultures, stories and histories of migration and integration.

    Recorded by Myriam Cherti.

    Part of the Migration Sounds project, the world’s first collection of the sounds of human migration.
