Rokba from AKAL by Tarwa N-Tiniri

The lyrics of the song talk about a journey with brotherhood, love, security, and peace, and a desire for happiness and prosperity in the homeland. This song originates from a traditional Moroccan music style called "الركبة" (Arabic for "Rokba"), which is a collective dance relying on a set of movements and the recitation of sung poetry by both men and women together. "Rokba" is an authentic art form from the Daraa Valley in the southeast of the Moroccan Kingdom, stemming from emotions conveyed through poetic verses.
