Berbères du Maroc

 

Berbères du Maroc - "ahwach"

Berbers of Morocco

collection C.N.R.S. Musée de l'Homme

Le Chant du Monde, 1979, LDX 74705

 Bernard Lortat-Jacob who made these recordings in 1972 and 1975 is a well known French ethnomusicologist who also worked on Sardinia.
This album is an impressive example of one of the most representative musical form of the Ayt Mgun Berbers, among others, in which the whole community is involved. Ahwach is a generic term for a great variety of dances though. Each side presents one type of ahwach in its entirety.
The booklet is quite complete and informative.
