What are some of the cultural influences in contemporary Morocco?

What will be an ideal response?

• Morocco is part of the contemporary Arab world, but also shows a French presence since Morocco only became independent form France in 1956. (Maghrebi culture is likewise a notable cultural feature of France.)
• Morocco's proximity to Europe has made the country more accessible to Westerners than other more remote countries of the Arab world (e.g., Syria, or Saudi Arabia). "Following independence, the country became a magnet for counterculture musicians [and writers]" (e.g., Ornette Colman, the Rolling Stones, Timothy Leary)
• North African music and musicians are being introduced to an international fan base.
