Tagmadert
Tagmadert (also Tagumadert, Tagmad(d)art or Tigumedet) is a famous place in the Draa River valley in Morocco. It is the place of origin of the members of the Saadi Dynasty. Despite the fact that Tagmadert is indicated on most older European maps, there is some uncertainty about its exact location. According to Charles de Foucauld its location was identical to present-day Fezouata, that is the district directly north of the Ktawa, including the village of Tamegroute There is a description of Tagmadert by the 17th century traveller Marmol. The name seems to have referred to both a district and a town. The town Tagmadert was founded by Mohammed ash-Sheikh in 1550. It was probably destroyed during the reign of Moulay Slimane (1792–1822), possibly like Sijilmassa in 1818 by Ait Atta tribes. The present village of Amezrou may have been built on its ruins. A sequia (irrigation canal) called Tagmadert still exists today in that place. Unfortunately there are no archeological records or Arabic or Berber language sources from which to deduce unequivocal conclusions about its location. The Saadi were Shurafa of Tagmadert. The first sultan of that dynasty Mohammed ash-Sheikh was called "al Drawi at-Tagmadert". Some of the members of the Saadi Dynasty have proudly inscribed Tagmadert as their place of birth on their tombstone.

Take Me To Heart
by: Neville BrothersOh, the girls watched from their balconies
They filled the air with whispers
Of spite and petty jealousy
Like Cinderella's sisters
They say that if you stay with me
Your heart will soon be broken
Their bitter words must go unheard
As if they've never spoken
I love you for better and for worse
Girl, you are my whole universe
Ever since we've been together
Since we've been together
You're my one lover
My best friend
I'll never say this is the end
I married you forever
Take me to heart
When I say I'll never leave you
Take me to heart
When I say I'll always love and need you
I'll love you ?til my final breath
'Til death do us part
Don't forsake me
Baby, take me to heart
Take me to heart
Take me to heart
Take me to heart
Take me
In the past you'd always find me
In some sticky situation
I thought that playing fast and free
Enhanced my reputation
Oh, but I was wrong, the past has gone
It's ancient history now
We pledged our love to build upon
And never disavow
I love you for better and for worse
Girl, you are my whole universe
Ever since we've been together
Since we've been together
You're my one lover
My best friend
I'll never say this is the end
I married you forever
Take me to heart
When I say I'll always love you
Take me to heart
When I say there is no one above you
I'll love you ?til my final breath
'Til death do us part
Don't forsake me
Baby, take me to heart
Take me to heart
Take me to heart
Take me to heart
Take me to heart
Take me to heart
Take me to heart
Take me to heart
