Maqam is the Arabic concept to designate a type of melodic construction often based on improvisation that forms the basis of traditional Arabic music. Most of the times Maqams can turn into a kind of hypnothic trance.

As the Maqam can become hypnotic, the day to day of the indigo-tinted alleys of the ancient medina of Chefchaouen, in the Moroccan Rif, invites the traveler to let himself be carried away towards an hypnotic and unexpectedly full of sensations walk: women selling morning gathered wild fruits or carrying daily homemade bread to be cooked in the communtarian oven, children playing not so far from home doors while all community are hidden and silently taking care at all of them, olders taking its daily walkaround to chat with neighbours, youngters in their best clothes in order to be observed by their peers while walking around at dusk, and so on… 

Despite being a worldly-known touristic spot, Chefchaouen is just a Moroccan Rif's village, in Yebala region. A village where, beyond the needs of tourism, people still try to preserve its privacy. Real everyday street life in Chauen has little time to be appreciate: few time from sunrise til just before the crowd of tourists still have not arrived... and then at late evening, when suddenly the real  town returns into life short after the last buses have turn out the last curve in their route to another spot….
