Any of you heard of this before?

Its a "dance" reer baadiyo men perform at weddings.. Looks mad cool and shit walaahey.. I think it was called Ciyaar miyi (I forgot the other name).. But I want to know if any of you know about it.

Guess I will have to wait for the mirqaan-heads to return

looooool, is it the one where the jump up really high?. I'm going to take up somali traditional dance lessons this summer. There is this lady who is a master in it so all my xalimoyiin are goig to head East this summer . The thing is it' s hard to remember the songs.

The one where they jump.. spin.. stomp and shit like that.. looked mad cool when I saw it in miyiga Sanaag.

lool


Lady he is not talking about buranbuuuur. Ciiyar miyi is different i think. That is how they dance in baadiyo.

I said MEN!!!! for goodness sake. Buraanbur is a lady thing.

I know jack shit about reer miyi traditions.

X, i thin ur talkin about the "Batar"...ask around then come back n tell me if i was right.

loool, buranbuur is long and boring. All you do is praise someone or some qabiil to death. We are not that fimiliar with it in the north-west. But it takes creativity and a huge amount of knowlegde about the somali language to do it. Kudos to those women walahi

Xpo, i know the one you mean. I have seen some tall yummy men doing it in somalia on tape . I never realised that there were different reer miyii dances?. Interesting!

hummmmm could it be Dhantoo? MAYBE

¨Let me ask around and get back to yall.

Every region(or maybe qabiil) has it owns ciyaar. I know one reer laas qorey ciyaaraan. I don't know if all warsengelis do it though. Anyway most reer miyi men perform "saar". Do you know what the word "burur" means?

excessive "FAT"

^no when the dance get goin,the conservative rer baadiyaha feel their love n need to continue dancing is unnatural so they explain it as jinns goin in them makin them love the groove more and more, hence "wee bururaan"

lol@ mad dog, qaar baa is jeexaan with toorey and sh*t. Like you said, they claim to be possessed by spirits.

Ciyaarto waxaa jirto reer shabeellaha ciyaaraan, siiba abgaalka. It is fun ciyaar but I forgot the name of it. When I lived in the shabeellaha back in somalia, me and my brothers used to always go to these ciyaaro just to watch em. Both females and males used to participate...does anyone know the name of this ciyaar. It is similar to dhaanto.

^abgaalka have two dances: Walasaqo and Surow (my favorite of ALL Somali dances to watch and hear)
