Since I am unable to organize my annual Fete Du Throne celebration, here is a video from my very first event at Newport Mall in Jersey City. The throne day in Morocco in my memory and probably in the memories of many Moroccans has always been an extravagant event I remember those days to be exciting and fun with my family listening to the many musicians adoring the streets of Rabat and Sale. In Sale, it seemed that every business had their own folklore group and so my family and I would jump from one group to the next trying to see them all before the day was through. Watching all those musicians, it raised a sense of national pride that was deep inside me. In my heart, the day wa the epidome of what loves for ones country could produce. It is in a peoples culture the fashion and the food that is made and the music that is heard. A euphoric emotion is produced visible in the Moroccan streets and on the faces of every citizens as they clap along with the music their faces smiling. As immigrants in the United States, the tradition of the old often times mistakenly get replaced with new traditions of the U.S. however the Throne Day is a mean of a connection stringing together the past, present and future. The future being that we introduce to our children in our stories and traditions what we as immigrants left behind. Unfortunately I cannot host an event celebrating Throne Day. That is why I am posting a video of the first celebration of the Throne Day in America.
