Ahawash - A Berber Music Experience

On our last night in the Ourika valley, we were honored with an Ahawash, a traditional performance of Berber music and dance. It was a very special opportunity and the energy in the air was contagious! As guests, we were lucky to be the preferred dance partners for most of the village children.
