On April 1, 2008, the US singer who won the Grammy Award Gloria Gaynor performed the first time in the third Casablanca Jazz Festival. In 1979, her single ¡®I will survive¡¯ was at the top of the music list.

Artists who attend the music festival include the French-Morocco rhythm blues singer Vigon and the Greek descent Guinean jazz musician Elisabeth Kontomanou, and so on.

With an increased fame in the 1970s, Gloria released her first album Never Can Say Goodbye in 1973. Five years later, she issued I will survive. She often performed in Europe and the US, the same as Leon Parker, Michel Legrand, Michael Stern and Aaron Jean Marie.

The music festival will be closed on April 11. The US legendary figure of soul jazz, Bettye Lavette and the blues guitarist Bernard Allison will also be the highlight of this event.
