The article reviews the reasons and characteristics of the tradition of ululation in Moroccan culture, clarifying that the main cause is related to the division of social and gender roles between men and women. Women specialize in expressing joy through ululations and celebrations, while men express strength and prestige through activities such as Tbourida (traditional horse-riding displays) and folk dances. It also explains that biological differences in voice quality play a role: women have a delicate voice and quick articulatory movements suited to ululations, whereas men's voices are deeper, making it more difficult for them to perform ululations in a coordinated manner. The social factor remains the most influential, as Moroccan culture links voice type with gender, although some men are better at ululating than women.
