Reggada

This is an accepted version of this page Reggada is a Moroccan Arab musical genre and dance from Arab and Berber tribes of north-east Morocco (Provinces of Oujda, Berkane and Taourirt).

Reggada is a derivation of war dance traditions called Aarfa and Allaoui, among Arab and Berber tribes celebrating victory over their enemies.

This war dance uses instruments such as Bendir, Ghaita and Zammar which is a kind of flute with two horns typically found in Africa.

The dancers move their shoulders, a rifle or a stick and strike the groin against the floor to the rhythm of drums.

The music often tells stories about topics such as love, emotions of sadness and happiness.
