The practice of the Dakka dates back several centuries, and is based on percussion ceremonies and religious chants aimed at entering a trance to draw closer to God.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Members of the Dakka Marakchiya are often people from humble backgrounds, and the practice of the Dakka is a way for them to elevate themselves spiritually. The ceremonies generally take place in public places, such as squares or streets, and often attract large crowds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Dakka Marakchiya is also known for its commitment to mutual aid and social solidarity, with members providing financial and material assistance to those in need. The practice of the Dakka is therefore a way for community members to come together, pray together, and support one another.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Dakka Marakchiya are a form of popular religious brotherhood in Morocco, particularly in the city of Marrakech.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":2061,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[453],"tags":[96,118,114,17,58,211,293,177,221],"class_list":["post-6956","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-personnalites","tag-art","tag-culture","tag-histoire","tag-islam","tag-maroc","tag-marrakech","tag-musique","tag-royaume","tag-voyage","latest_post"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v26.8 -
