Marrakesh Culture and Traditions
- Like any other culture around the world, Marrakech's culture plays a vital role in developing a city and its inhabitants. Marrakech is culturally rich and diverse, with historical influences reflected in the stunning architecture, delectable cuisine, and friendly people. Because of the sizeable Berber population, the culture in the'red city' is distinct and has been heavily impacted by Arab and Islamic civilisations.
- Marrakech's culture is expressed through language, religion, music, crafts, and tradition.
- Berbers continue to constitute Morocco's largest ethnic group, and Arabic remains the primary language in Marrakech. The Berber language is critical and is spoken throughout the country. From an early age, French is taught in schools and has become the unofficial second language, but English is only spoken in tourist regions.
- Most people in Marrakech speak three or four languages, so there should be no language barrier when visiting this magnificent city.
- Because of its geographical location, Marrakech's music has been impacted by various civilisations. The music is a unique fusion of Spanish, Middle Eastern, Sub-Saharan, and indigenous Amazigh elements.
- This unique musical blend is the consequence of fascinating history. Gnawa music, Andalucian and Sephardic music had a tremendous impact on Marrakech's culture throughout its early years. When the Europeans arrived, they brought new genres, resulting in a pretty unique sound. This combination can be found at city music events, concerts, and cultural festivals.
