The Marrakchia dakka is a musical cultural tradition exclusive of Morocco. In Arabic, the word dakka means rhythmically hitting with hands due to the particular sound produced by your hands hitting a smooth surface with your fingers together or apart. It can also be written in other ways, like daqqa, dekka or dekker. As its name indicates, the Marrakchia dakka originated in the imperial city of Marrakech and mainly has its maximum expression during the festival of Atxuri (celebrated the 10th day of the Muslim year). The celebration of weddings is also an excellent opportunity to hear the dakka Marrakchia, where the atmosphere is vibrant, cheerful and lively. The dakka represents a kind of rhythmic applause, as las palmas, perfectly precise and controlled.
It is a true manual feat based on three phases of rhythmic acceleration orchestrated by three main instruments: the ta rijat, small terracotta bell-shaped tambourine; the tar, an instrument of membrane; and the qarqaba or karkaba, a few Finger Cymbals of iron reminiscent of the castanets used in Spain. The troop consists of many percussionists starting with songs that make reference to the saints of the city and evoke all the praise that they deserve. The first phase, extensive and majestic, directed by the master percussionist, reminds some of Ahwash dances. The second phase (or medium phase) is simple, moderate, and repetitive. his. It is a prelude to the expected change of pace during the third and final phase of this dakka called Afus (which means hand in Berber language). During this final phase, the dakka artists get carried away by the effects of the popular trumpet or nfir and manage to increase even more the atmosphere of fellowship, entertainment and mysticism that undoubtedly enchantment them.
