As a lyricist and playwright, the name of the Moroccan poet Abdelaziz Tahiri is associated with the experience of the musical groups that flourished in Morocco from the 1970s. He is one of main pillars of Nass El Ghiwane and Jil Jilala music bands for whom he wrote exquisite poems heavily influenced by heritage and folklore. He is the guest of the House of Poetry in Manama in a special evening entitled “Brilliant Zajaliyat of Al-Taheri.”
