Thus, the city's Cultural Center hosted on Monday, in a festive atmosphere, an artistic evening where Amazigh heritage and culture were in the spotlight with the succession on stage of several troupes that treated the public to a collection of pieces that draw from the rich Amazigh repertoire.
This evening took flight with the Ahidous troupe "Oasis Ghris" which, under the cheers of a public in a trance, performed with brilliance choreographic performances in the form of circles and semi-circles, round, supple, and undulating, accompanied by Amazigh songs.
Side by side, the dancers, men and women in perfect communion under the leadership of the maestro Hmad Ouftou, offered a beautiful visual spectacle accompanied by songs evoking themes of love, peace, labor, youth, joy...
The evening continued with a menu of poetic readings "Tamdyazt", sung by the amdyaz Moha Mloui, who treated the public to two poems entitled "Id Yennayer" and "Spring".
The audience was also carried away by the resonances of the banjo virtuoso, Hicham Ait Ouhmane, whose performance captivated hearts seduced by this universe where musical excellence rhymes with passion and dedication.
The evening was also enhanced by the interpretations of artists Hamid Douich and Said Ousghir who took to the stage by performing songs from their rich repertoire executed in Arabic and Amazigh languages.
Organized by the Regional Directorate of Youth, Culture and Communication of Drâa-Tafilalet, this evening was marked by the organization of an exhibition of photographs and documents showing excerpts of Royal Speeches that emphasize the place of the Amazigh language and culture, as well as insights into the path of the constitutionalization of the Amazigh language and the history of the Amazigh press.
On the sidelines of this event, the Cultural Center hosted an exhibition by the painter Rachid Adidou, whose canvases highlight the rich tangible and intangible Amazigh cultural heritage.
The official celebration of the Amazigh New Year takes place in accordance with the decision of His Majesty King Mohammed VI to establish January 14 as an official national holiday in Morocco.
This decision testifies to the High Royal solicitude granted to the Amazigh language as a major component of the authentic Moroccan identity, rich in its many tributaries, and a common good for all Moroccans without exception.
