Fez, Morocco -- Five times a day, from the tops of mosques across the ancient city of Fez, Morocco, the soothing voices of muezzins calls Muslims to prayer.
But each summer during the Fes Festival of World Sacred Music those sacred chants in the majority Muslim country mingle with the sounds of music from a variety of other faiths and cultures including Jewish, Hindu, Buddhist and Christian.
The annual Fes Festival began 16 years ago in the aftermath of the first Gulf War. Organizers say the hope was that musical harmony would drown out the noise of political differences.
