In this new 3-parts series, I take you through the story of Bou Hmara, a con artist who shook Morocco’s Alaoui dynasty in the early 20th century at the dawn of the European protectorates. Pretending to be a long lost prince, the brother of Sultan Moulay Abdelaziz, Bou Hmara used strategy, clever schemes and a good dose of lies to gain power wealth & influence over thousands of people.
His rise to the top was filled with betrayal battles, & the brutal realities of colonial rule. An episode of Moroccan history you donnot

In this episode, join me as I dive into the life and the historical significance of Taougrat Oult Aissa, an Amazigh poetess and ahidous singer from the Middle Atlas region of Morocco. Born in the 19th century, she is remembered for her contributions to Amazigh culture during a critical period marked by French colonialism in Morocco. Taougrat Oult Aissa’s poetry and songs despite her blindness resonated deeply with her community and beyond as it adressed themes of resilience and resistance against external forces. Her artistic legacy continues to be celebrated for its profound cultural and historical impact in North Africa.
