[QUOTE]Originally posted by Doug M: [QB] Another point of reference to the aboriginal diversity of Morocco. The Tissint are Berbers from Southern Morocco: http://www.flickr.com/photo_zoom.gne?id=320723328&size=l http://www.flickr.com/photo_zoom.gne?id=320723326&context=set-72157594376528359&size=o History of Tissint: http://www.itineranceplus.com/english/culturalmemo2.asp?culturalID=46 Note the fact that it is another of the ancient waypoints on the Saharan waypoints that has come to be abandoned and thus no longer prosperous. Tissint is the Berber word for salt, another reference to the importance of the city on the old caravan routes carrying salt. Note on the Frenchman Foucald's journeys across Morocco which was basically a spy mission, where he wrote about Tissint: http://www.itineranceplus.com/english/culturalmemo2.asp?culturalID=16 More Tissint Berbers: http://www.flickr.com/photos/vivesrubio/190995924/ http://www.flickr.com/photos/vivesrubio/190995923/in/photostream/ And a video from the Ahwach festival of Ouarzate Morocco something called le danse de lpee(must see!): http://www.festival-ahwach.com/clip-ahwach-zagora.html Some female black Tissint Berbers: http://www.imurig.net/modules/xoopsgallery/view_photo.php?xoops_imageid=421&set_albumName=album03&id=ahwach_tissint1 http://www.imurig.net/modules/xoopsgallery/view_photo.php?xoops_imageid=419&set_albumName=album03&id=ahwach_tissint More photos of Berber diversity (showing that indeed all berbers are not White): http://www.imurig.net/modules/xoopsgallery/view_photo.php?xoops_imageid=149&set_albumName=album03&id=ouarzazate03 I dont know what the terms mean or what they refer to but tissint, ahwach and Taskiwine return a lot of photos of the black African population among the Moroccan Berbers. Also look for Ahidous and you will find many videos and mp3s of various Berber/Moroccan dancing troupes with an undeniable African rythms. Another video: http://www.dailymotion.com/video/x5jf4_ahidous And I found a defintion of Ahidous: [QUOTE] Ahidous: term which covers at Imazighen (here, Berbères originating in the Average Atlas or the High Eastern Atlas) a great number of dances [/QUOTE]Translated from this page: http://www.azawan.com/tamazight/rouicha/artistePres.htm (Basically dances of the various Berber groups which is based around music made with a type of tambourine). Old picture of Chleuh Bebers: http://www.imurig.net/modules/xoopsgallery/view_photo.php?xoops_imageid=129&set_albumName=album03&id=ahidous http://www.imurig.net/modules/xoopsgallery/view_photo.php?xoops_imageid=171&set_albumName=album03&id=troubadour04 Ahwach is the dance of the Chleuh berbers and is the most different of the Berber Ahidous. [QUOTE] The dancers put in circle, in half-circle, or on two rows facing, men alone, women alone, or, men and women alternated, narrowly tightened, shoulder against shoulder, they form block. The dance is rythmée with the tambourine and by beats of hands. The movements are collective; it is a trampling, a tremor which is propagated, intersected with broad undulations, strong gales on corns. By their ease and their unit, they testify to a direction of the remarkable rate/rhythm. However, doing everything almost always the same gesture at the same time, it is especially a whole of juxtaposition which the ahidous present. In this direction, it is very characteristic of the mentality of Amazighs. The ahwach danced by Chleuhs of the Western Atlas is already extremely different.
