| The music and dances of the Ababda are different from those of the Egyptians, being more rhythmic and somehow less oriental. Again and again, elements of their warrior past emerge in their dancing and singing. They are performing a simulated fight with large swords and shields (the seyf dance), in which all men participate in pairs. | ||||||

In another dance the old men, adolescents and children jump high like gazelles to the rhythm of clapping hands and guttural sounds (baghrab). This is their way of displaying strength and virile energy. pages 1...........2...........3...........4...........5...........6...........7...........8 more Abada photographs | Ababda color photographs | Ababda farmers | Ababda in the desert | Ababda files | references | entire text | map | Zbigniew Kosc | publications | exhibitions | All photographs & music recording All Rights Reserved mail to: z.kosc@chello.nl | Home | Links | Stock images | |
