Aḥwash (Neo-Tifinagh: ⴰⵃⵡⴰⵛ, IPA /æħwæʃ/, also Romanized as ahwach or ahouach) is a Shilha style of collective performance, including dance, singing, poetry and percussion, from southern Morocco.

It can celebrate important events such as weddings, births, and harvests, or serve as a means of communication and social expression.

Rich in connotations specific to its culture, this artistic tradition brings to life the ancient times of Amazigh communities.

[3] Ahwash may have come from Telouet [citation needed], though historians have struggled to conclusively determine its origins, because of the lack of written history.

[1] The celebration of an ahwash is both an important communal and spiritual practice, sometimes leading to a supernatural experience; there are many stories from southern Moroccan villages of performers who are clairvoyant.
