فاس نيوز ميديا جريدة الكترونية جهوية تعنى بشؤون و أخبار جهة فاس مكناس – متجددة على مدار الساعة
“Aassou,” a celebrated name in the realm of mountain folk music, resides in a modest clay room that lacks even the most basic necessities for a decent living. Despite his successful artistic journey, which has made him a star in the art of “ghita al-jabal” (mountain songs), his social reality remains unchanged.
For many years, he has been the voice that resonates with the melodies and tales of the mountains, offering a cultural heritage that has captivated both local and international audiences.
However, his dire living conditions reflect the challenging reality faced by many folk artists in Morocco, who struggle without the support necessary for stability. Despite his artistic contributions and his role in preserving the mountain heritage, “Aassou” finds himself unable to provide for his family or even to build a simple home that ensures their security.
With no steady income and advancing age, he is left to appeal to the compassionate hearts of his fellow countrymen and relevant authorities for assistance, hoping to alleviate the burdens of life that weigh heavily on him.
Recently, civil society actors and personalities from the village of Amalaio recognized “Aassou’s” plight and organized a tribute event in his honor, commemorating his contributions and highlighting his role in serving popular arts.
The event featured heartfelt testimonials from community members who reminisced about significant moments from his illustrious career, reaffirming his status as a symbol of mountain music. The ceremony included musical performances and segments that celebrated his creative legacy, imparting an emotional and heartfelt atmosphere.
Ultimately, “Aassou” and his family hold onto the hope of receiving humanitarian recognition that preserves their dignity, as well as support that would offer him the opportunity to live with dignity, far removed from the harsh realities faced by an artist who has given so much to his country’s heritage.
