Opvallend concert op Timitar Festival 2013 :
Nass El Ghiwan, populaire groep uit de jaren 70 en 80,
presenteert een liedje in Tamazight. Ze hebben nog nooit
eerder in die taal gezongen:
“It’s a good way of letting of steam,” said Reda Allali, the lead signer from Morocco’s leading rock band Hoba Hoba Spirit, referring to the the Timitar Festival. “It’s a step in the right direction anyway – although there are many steps ahead.” The Timitar Festival in Agadir, which finished last night, is at the root a celebration of Berber culture, a culture that has been historically undervalued in these parts, even though the majority of Moroccans are Berbers and are the indigenous population, the origins of their music and artistic expression going back millennia.
