The Haloween Moroccan way (Exclusive video)

Every one knows the halloween ; IN United state of America each october 31; but do u know any thing about Moroccan way of halloween. ?

In morocco we call it Boujloud Festival, a popular exotic rite that includes singing, dancing and masquerading.

In my village we call it »Jad » l takes place IN the day of Eid al-Adha.This indigenous cultural event, deeply rooted IN villages, involves people wearing sheepskin, goatskin, or bird feathers.

Some paint their faces with charcoal or wear masks, and some attach sheep hooves around their hands. The more bizarre the participants look, the better for the spectacle.

The name given to this tradition differs from one region to another, but Boujloud is the most commonly used. It means the person who wears sheepskin.

Poeple in my village for example ecpecially young theu singing poplur musoic and dncing and They play comic roles in the street After dressing up, the participants, accompanied by flute players, drummers and large crowds of people, move to the most famous squares in their respective cities or villages for shows - spectacles reminiscent of ancient Greek folklore.

At a certain point in the show, Boujloud Men break into the crowd to touch the audience, especially children, with the hooves, conveying the magical power of the sacrificial animal.

I remember as a child, I was afraid of Boujloud like other children, but we were screaming and he chasing us in the alleys of the village, the person wearing the sheepskin was tired and sweating after hours of wearing this heavy skin, so he deserved some of the dirhams he gets, Where he and his assistants knocked on doors to get money.
