Casablanca - Zineb El-Tohamy
The Moroccan artist, Rachid Ouadghiri stressed that the idea of creating the largest audio group of children for the art of praise, listening and Andalusian music came from the Canadian audio group, which numbered 500 children, who performed "Tala al Badro Alayna" song.
Ouadghiri achieved his dream of creating the largest group of children's audio, he is the first experience of its kind in Morocco, where he worked on art paintings that included Andalusian art, praise and hearing, the northern folklore and the art of Issawi.
He pointed out, in interview with Arabs Today, that the group" Coral flowers of Andalusia "consists of 600 children, aged between 5 and 12 years, stressing that the purpose of the founding of this group is to preserve the original cultural heritage, the music of the Andalusian machine and the technician of praise and hearing. "What distinguishes this group is that most of its children come from areas that have nothing to do with this art," he added.
At the beginning of this huge artistic project, Mr. Ouadghiri faced many difficulties, first of which was the lack of possibilities and the lack of interest of the responsible authorities in such traditional artistic steps. However, in cooperation with the director of the educational institution "Lahlou" in Casablanca, Ms. Menia Saqli was able to achieve this dream, where the Foundation and Mr. Ouadghiri, the supervisor of the choir, aspire to break a record for in Guinness book.
Mr. Al-Ouadghiri added that he used his personal and professional experience to simplify the teaching of Andalusian music and praise and make it available to the children, thus making them rewarded with original talent. Therefore, the concert, which was held last year, achieved a major success, what stimulated other children of the same age and level to join the acoustic group.
He explained that this audio group is a challenge and a special effort with Ms. Menia Al-Saqli, who noted the idea and contributed greatly to its success in the absence of any support from any party or assistance from those responsible for this sector.
