The choice of music for this show may also be questioned. The show begins with the song "Walk
Like an Egyptian" which does fit with the costumes somewhat but not at all with the geography, or culture. The next song performed
is "Rock the Kasbah" as originally performed by the British punk band The Clash. The Moroccans, who are proud of these
innovative structures, which are symbols of wealth and power, probably don't want them "rocked", even in Marrakesh (EOO).
Sharif don't like it. They then continue their quasi-African musical theme with their renditions of "Smooth" by Santana and
"Livin' la Vida Loca"
This may all seem like it is no big deal but these depictions can lead to stereotypes. Using
Egyptian themes in a so called Moroccan stage show can lead to stereotypes about the diversity of African culture. It is just
as wrong to imply that Africans have no culture as it is to imply that all of the people across North Africa are the same.
Also, by using these songs, such as the Santana song and "Livin' la Vida Loca" to depict an African setting places both
Spanish speakers and Africans into a pigeonhole of "the other". This stage show is meant to be strictly entertainment, but
it could present some incorrect ideas as truth to people who may not know much about Africa, especially considering most of
the viewers are children.
