Territories, loves and harvests The songs of the Moroccan Atlantic plains are songs linked to rain, harvests, plowing, love and the prodigality of a generous nature that does not count its benefits. The generosity of nature responds to the song of fulfilled men and women. This hymn varies significantly from one region to another but always in the same register that of a happy rurality. But sometimes, when necessary, the Aïta can be a song of liberation against the oppressor, of the fight against injustice and for the emancipation of men and women. Former caïds known as supporters of the protectorate have been the subject of songs of denunciation and revolt that have marked entire generations. The festive lightness in which some want to maintain this ancestral art does not hold because the Aïta is first and foremost the expression of a dense and prolific human epic.
