Biography

The long history of war and ceaseless vendettas between various clans is also a reason for the harsh life of the Berbers from the high valleys. And this roughness probably explains the rare force of their music.

One of the most spectacular and still untouched Morocco destinations is the scenic Ait Bougmez Valley. This naturally wrapped parcel of land resides in the central High Atlas Mountains. The Ait Bougmez Valley is 200 kilometers east of Marrakech. In addition to the surrounding natural beauty, the architecture is a stunning tribute to Morocco’s more traditional living. Buildings and houses are mud brick, nestled among majestic mountain ranges. It’s often hard to see the small towns as they are camouflaged.
