Gallery: Fantasia

Photographs posted by listentoafrica on May 19th, 2009

The traditional festival, Fantasia, which we stumbled across on the road between Rabat and Casablanca in northern Morocco. It’s a celebration of horsemanship (and, more recently, horsewomanship) in which the aim is for a team of horsemen to fire their muskets at the same time. Photographs by Huw, May 2009. You can also listen to our sound recording of the event, Fantasia (and the Power of Women).

   Fantastic Fantasia! Any one of the shots would make a wonderful painting. Latest sound and blog updates also make it all come alive.

   I agree, the Fantasia shots are fantastic (and I’m allowed to say that as your son took all of them)!
