EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative photograph, a Moroccan Recif man stands proudly with a dignified expression, his shaven head adorned with a distinctive dyed pigtail. The Recif community, also known as the "Blues of Morocco," are an ethnic group originating from the sub-Saharan region of West Africa, who have lived in Morocco for centuries. This man wears a traditional white tunic, which is a common garment among the Recif people. The Recif community has a rich and complex history, with some tracing their origins back to the 16th century when enslaved Africans were brought to Morocco. Over time, they assimilated into Moroccan society, adopting many aspects of the local culture while preserving their unique traditions. The dyed pigtail, or "top knot," is a distinctive feature of the Recif men's appearance. The hair is shaved except for a long, braided lock that is dyed with henna or indigo. This hairstyle is believed to have both practical and symbolic significance. It is said to protect the head from the sun and to represent a connection to their African heritage. This photograph offers a glimpse into the history and culture of the Recif people, who have long been an integral part of Moroccan society. Despite facing discrimination and marginalization, the Recif community continues to preserve their traditions and contribute to the rich cultural tapestry of North Africa. This image is a powerful reminder of the complex and interconnected history of Africa and the diaspora, and the importance of preserving the stories and traditions of marginalized communities. It is a valuable historical record that deserves to be appreciated and celebrated.
