Moroccan Blues
Blue is the colour of the Berbers, the nomadic tribes that became the first members of the Kingdom of Morocco. And the blues originates from a music that plays an important part in the history of the country. There is another blue, however, and in both France and Morocco these days it’s known to everyone as “Majorelle Blue”.
