Morocco is a wonderful Country with some majestic mountain ranges, great coastline and some of the most intriguing Cities on the Continent. Many travellers end up in the Country to sample life in the famous Cities of Casablanca, Marrakech and Rabat and most are not disappointed by what they find. The people are very friendly as well and the infrastructure is very good for the region and it is getting better with the current Government aiming to increase tourist numbers to the Country. The best time to visit Morocco is during the spring and autumn when it is cooler and more comfortable. The summer can be a good time to visit the coastal areas, but the interior of the country will be uncomfortably hot. The winter can get quite cold in the north though the further south you go, the days will get warmer, however, night time will still be chilly. Health wise - There is a small risk from Malaria in the extreme south of the Country, but many do not believe it is worth the effort of taking ant...

In this paper, we well survey the complicated dynamics of change and/or conservation within the repertory of the traditional oral Berber dancing songs called Ahwash, as this genre is still performed among certain Moroccan Berber-Jewish communities immigrated to Israel in the mid 1950’s and early 1960’s. Definition of ‘ahwash’ with respect to other Moroccan musical genres The term ‘ahwash’ covers several forms of local varieties of a Berber village collective dance in which participants, men and/or women sing while dancing collectively in the Atlas Mountains and around in Morocco (v. Chottin; Rovsing-Olsen). Despite the lack of a historical concrete picture of how the Judeo-Berber vernacular variants interfered, each time through history, in the everyday life of those Jewish communities (v.

Schroeter), Jewish participation in ahwash, as dancers, singers and even as lyrics improvisers, has been witnessed in such localities as...
