In the Middle Atlas, near Kenifra, the tribes Zayane and Ichker get together for the performance of the mythical nuptials of Asli and Taslit, the Fiancé and the Fiancée. They are the symbols of Earth and Heaven who, through their union, following a precise staging, will render alive the living forces of the vegetation. For their respective clans, they embody all the hopes of abundance and fertility, sung and danced by the community, during the Awache, in front of the huge Berber tents, to the sound of a host of bendirs.
