Global Village Dubai - Moroccan Traditional Music and Dance

Details

Description

Music and dance are an integral part of Moroccan life. During a trip to Morocco, you may witness processions of dancing villagers parading through the streets, or you might be kept awake late at night by the sound of rhythmic drums and the piercing ululations of wedding celebrations. While music and dance in Morocco can usually be categorized as indigenous Berber or classical Arab, you will also see and hear African, European and Jewish influences in these traditional art forms. Whatever the origins, dancing in Morocco has a long, storied heritage.
Described as a mixture of English ballet and classical Arabic music, the ouais is a graceful, fluid dance performed by women. The dancers wear copper cymbals on their fingers and are dressed in elaborately embroidered kaftans with silk belts. Most often performed at weddings, the ouais dance is accompanied by a one-stringed fiddle, two or three small mandolins and the simple rhythm of one musician pounding on a large piece of cast iron.
