EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures a moment in time, transporting us back to the 1930s in Morocco. The image features three Chleuh (Shilha, Shluh) musicians, a Berber sub-group from the northern part of the country. Two of the men are deeply engrossed in their percussion instruments, their expressions focused and intense as they beat out a rhythm. The third man holds a violin, his bow poised above the strings, ready to play. The musicians' traditional attire adds to the authenticity of the scene, with intricate patterns and vibrant colors contrasting against the muted tones of the photograph. The bustling street scene in the background suggests that this is not a studio setting, but rather a snapshot of everyday life. The musicians are likely engaging in a trade, sharing their music with passersby and earning their livelihood through their art. The image offers a glimpse into the rich cultural heritage of Morocco, showcasing the beauty and diversity of its people and their traditions.
