The general development of Morocco has in recent years to the birth and rapid development of an entertainment industry in some way reminiscent to that in Mexico or Cuba during the 1940s. Not that there were no entertainment in Marrakech at the time of Hassan II, is simply that, as is happening in most sectors, the organization and type of product being offered is completely different. The content of these shows is also very different. Western musical influence is quite palpable, and genres like gnawa or belly dance share the stage with pop singers, dancers and entertainers go-go or jazz bands. Pure fusion.

The treatment of employees (artists and non artists) is not always respectful in regard to implementation and compliance with contracts and high in Social Security, wages are always very low when compared with the benefits of the owners of local treatment is too often degrading.
