Words have wings - saving the oral traditions in Morocco

Les paroles s'envolent, les écrits restent.

Wandering through Moroccan cyberspace can take you to some amazing places and from time to time it is possible that you stumble on some real gems. One of our favourite sites is the French language MarocAntan. These beautifully crafted pages attracted us at first because of the fabulous collection of old postcards and photographs, but now they are expanding into audio. Why? Because, as they point out, oral traditions are just as important as artifacts and photographs.

The podcasts are at an early stage of development, but MarocAntan is worth bookmarking and keeping an eye on from time to time.
