Hassani Culture: Exchange, Mobility and Symbolism

Hassani culture, which is the pride of Morocco and Moroccans, is a culture steeped in history, marked by a passion for communication and exchange and the power of symbolism and a constant mobility.

This culture, part of the civilization of the Kingdom, which has succeeded to preserve its diversity, is characterized by its rich linguistic and literary heritage, according to participants at a meeting on Hassani culture and creativity in the 18th Casablanca Book Fair (SIEL).

In this sense, several researchers and experts confirm the richness of the Hassani language, the result of a superposition of the Amazigh, Arabic, and African cultures.

Historical books exhaustively describe poetic exchanges in the Sahara, quoting poems of high literary value that blend Hassani and Amazigh languages ​​and demonstrate how the Sahrawis are open to other languages ​​and their external environment.

The researcher on Hassani culture, Taleb Bouya Laatig, wonders if this language, whose origin is beidanie society (in the region El Beidane Trab), is a language, a dialect, a speech or words, highlighting its symbolic strength, aesthetics, and its accuracy.

Hassani music is another evidence of the opening of this culture on the world, said a researcher who emphasizes its African and Amazigh dimensions. This is music where one finds "hijaz", "Srouji", "Taghjouta", with a use Tadinit, a musical instrument whose name is Amazigh, also integrating Jawanib (al janba bayda and janba sawda ), he said.
