We've been waiting for it for weeks and here it is, the music video for Gims and Maluma has finally been unveiled this weekend. "Hola Senorita (Maria)" was entirely shot in Marrakech, showcasing the ochre city. In just two days, the video racked up over 5 million views! A stellar performance for what could be this summer's hit song...
For a while now, we've been following the Moroccan escapade of reggaeton star Maluma on social media. As he prepared his duet with the artist now known as Gims, he seemed to fall for the charms of the ochre city. It's no surprise, given that Gims knows Marrakech like the back of his hand and was the perfect guide. It was his idea to shoot their collaboration clip in Marrakech, "to highlight this ancient city and its vast tourist potential."
In the 100% Marrakchi clip, we see the allure of Moroccan riads, the medina from its rooftops, and even the Menara basin, where Gims and Maluma take to jet skiing... The man behind the camera, Said C Naciri, a Moroccan director who already demonstrated his ability to present a musical postcard of Morocco in RedOne's "Boum Boum" clip, impresses us yet again!
Another Moroccan contributing to the video, designer Selim Mouhyi. Little did he know that his orange jacket found at Atelier 44 would completely win over Maluma.
With more than 5 million views in just 48 hours, this clip could be more than just a hymn for Marrakech and Morocco. "Hola Senorita (Maria)" might just become the summer's top hit, plain and simple!

Ramadan is a time for shared moments, and Marrakech offers many exceptional places to break the fast with family or friends. Here is a selection of establishments where you can enjoy a memorable ftour in Marrakech during the holy month.
Art
In Marrakech, graffiti artists and other street artists have not only made a splash in galleries over the past few years but have also taken to the streets. This is largely thanks to the Marrakech Biennale and the 'Liberty Wall' initiative, which have allowed them to establish their presence and tap into their creative freedom. While waiting to welcome travelers again, the team at Made in Marrakech invites you to explore Marrakech's vibrant street art scene through 10 images. Photo: DR
