The culture in tafraout of Ammln and its suburbs is very rich in traditions of the amazigh society such as parties, mariages , cellebrations, old music : ahwash ,tahwsh and so forth . Among these cultural cellebrations there is Idernan which circulates from the past until now between tribes while exhibiting the area’s cultural characteristics .
Idernan, a fabulous party, is an Amazigh cultural cellebration in the moroccan Anti-Atlas. First of all, the word ‘ idernan’ in Tashelheit language means a sort of bread like a bagel cooked by argan oil. Idernan, though, took its name from this sort of bagels, but its real cause was war and starvation. In the past, this celebration has being founded by the “ oulama ’’, the Muslim jurists, who assembled all the leaders of tribes in the area to signe a peace contract by which travelers may travel without holding arms with them at that time.
From that time on, Idernan begins at the begining of the julien year, which corresponds with the 13th january. Idernan gives the start to the seasonal parties which permits to the valley of the anti-atlas to pass progressively from the autumn lethargy to the spring renaissance.
Tribe after tribe, Idrnan changes from place to place until it finishes at the end of march. Each village cellebrates Idernan when its turn comes. This cellebration begins on Thursday and lasts three days. Tribes ; such as the ammelen, the ait souab , the ida ougnidif ; the ida ou samlal and the ida ou’baakil ; cellebrates idrnan in turn-tribe by tribe.
In Tafraout el mouloud we cellebrate Idernan on the last Thursday in March. Tafraout el mouloud is one of the ida ou samlal tribes. Our ancesters are khnown by thier hospitality ,especially in these occasions. We present to the guasts ‘idernan’ ;amlou ,made from argan oil mixed with amand; touzit, made from buter and argan as well as tagin and fruits. Finly after eating idernan, most of the people go to attend ‘ahwsh’ or ‘tahwsh’.
