🌙 NEFFAR : Preserving Morocco's Ramadan Traditions 🎶

Описание: Since the advent of television and the internet in Moroccan households, three of the most symbolic professions during Ramadan seem to be losing their value and are on the verge of disappearing. These include the "tebbal," the "neffar," and the "ghyat."

Who hasn't heard their grandmother talk about the first nights of the holy month of Ramadan? Especially when she described the "ghyat" and the "neffar," which alone represented the announcers of the beginning of the blessed month, as well as the deliverance from a hard day of fasting.

The "tebbal," on the other hand, was the "waker" for the "s'hour," the last meal before sunrise and the resumption of fasting. He would walk quickly through the neighborhoods, drumming on his instrument to wake up those who had accidentally forgotten to do so. This was the way of life for Moroccans before the arrival of television and radio in households. These three people, perceived as saviors, were well received and cherished by the families in the neighborhood.

Since the arrival of technology in the kingdom, the habits of Moroccans have changed. The "tebbals," "neffars," and "ghyatas" have fallen directly into oblivion or into the collective and nostalgic memory of some.

Currently, it is still possible to find them in the old medinas or in some popular neighborhoods that have decided to preserve the authenticity of the past.

These professions face fierce competition with clocks, cell phones, and other gadgets that aim to facilitate daily life but unfortunately manage to make the identity of an entire country disappear.
