Azilal (Standard Moroccan Tamazight: ⴰⵣⵉⵍⴰⵍ, Arabic: أزيلال) is a provincial capital in central Morocco, in the Atlas Mountains.

During the French protectorate in Morocco, the town was occupied by colonial forces and used as an outpost to spread further into the mountains.

But the surrounded area are more famous for their resistance against colonial like Ait Attab, Tabia, Bzou, Tanant, Demnate and others.

Every Thursday, residents of Azilal and surrounding villages gather at the southwest end of the city to buy and sell goods in an open-air souq.

This call and response song has also been recorded by Amazigh pop artists and is occasionally played digitally rather than performed.

While the practices themselves are disappearing, facial tattoos can still be seen on older Amazigh women and the remains of shrines for saints are still standing in and around Azilal.
