Biography

Abdeljabbar Louzir was not a simple actor and comedian, but he was one of the pioneers of Moroccan theater, who was adored by the public who fell under the spell of his Marrakchie comedy. Abdeljabbar Belouzir was born in 1928 (1932 according to other sources) in the Legza district of the ochre city, in a poor family. He was not able to access education, but he learned how to read and write from activists of the national movement when he was serving his sentence at the Laalou prison in Rabat because of his nationalist statements and his participation in the movements against colonization after the Sultan’s exile. The young Abdeljabbar decided to work as a tradesman to help his father, who was a shoemaker, meet his daily needs. Thus, he had several professions in the leather goods and wood industry. He then fell in love with soccer and entered this world when he was only 15 years old.
