Abstract
This article explores traditional women's singing in the Khouribga region, a key element of Moroccan intangible heritage. Transmitted orally, it serves as a means of expression, allowing women to share emotions and thoughts. The study analyzes songs related to marriage, circumcision, and mourning, highlighting five main themes: women, men, hospitality, parental blessing, and sorrow. While rooted in a patriarchal society, these songs act as a tool for cultural transmission and identity affirmation. The article emphasizes the need to preserve this oral heritage amid social transformations.
