Bzou
Bzou (بزو) is a town in the northwest corner of Morocco’s Azilal Province, just off the main road between the major cities of Beni-Mellal and Marrakesh. The sprawling commune of Bzou is composed of various Berber (a mix of Tashelhit and Tamazight) and Arabic speaking douwars tucked into the foothills of the High Atlas Mountains. The main, Arabic speaking cluster of douwars (Lamdarssa, Douwar Shms, Foum Sheaba) forms Bzou's heart; on its flanks are an assortment of smaller, generally Berber douwars up in the surrounding mountains and cradling the banks of the river Oued el Abid.
With a population of approximately 4200 people in its center〔http://world-gazetteer.com/wg.php?x=1&men=gcis&lng=en&des=wg&geo=-134&srt=npan&col=abcdefghinoq&msz=1500&pt=c&va=&geo=-2354〕 and 14,505 in the commune as a whole,〔According to a recent report by Morocco's Agence de Developpment Social〕 Bzou is regionally and nationally famous for its production of the highest quality fabric used in the tailoring of a specific piece of traditional Moroccan clothing known as Djellaba. Additionally, Bzou produces a considerable amount of olives, olive oil, and honey. Economically speaking, Bzou is heavily dependent on this basic agriculture and the extremely labor-intensive, hand made fabric for which it is famous.
== Short History ==
According to a plethora of local sources, Bzou’s original core and souk (marketplace) were in the Amazigh douwar of Tagounte. Cresting a modest hill overlooking the Oued al Abid River on one side and a valley of caves on the other, Tagounte was the center of business and social activity for much of Bzou’s history despite its moderate size. Relatively recently (mid 1900s), the economy of the douwar, and in many ways Bzou, was driven by the presence of various merchant Jewish families who bought and sold an assortment of products, providing the area with much needed commerce. Today only one member of member remains, living in Foum Teghia and still dealing with commerce.
Eventually, the limited accessibility and physical growth potential of Tagounte shifted the center over to the sprawling cluster of douwars where it currently resides. This current day center hosts two small souikas per week (the large, traditional souk is down the road in BaHi) and is located on the main paved road, which is under expansion.
