It's called Diisoow. I wonder if it's played anywhere other than waamo?

It looks stupid. I like the sticks though.

[eliteSomali]

It's played in weddings usually and small gatherings.

When do they sacrifice the monkey?

No way that voodoo looking behaviour is somali dhaqan.

It's "WOOOOO" not ooy. It's random chant as far I as I know and it goes along with buunka.


Jalaludiin: did you see the random semi-naked guy in there?

[Murax]

Looks awesome! Basically a sort of crip walk followed by jumping.

[jalaaludin5]

no bro but I know how to play diisoow. and Saar also. Just give me a knife and Make sure there's a female nearby incanting buraanbur cuz you can't have saar without buraanbur.

I think it came from Sudanese version of the Somali bantus. Most people don't know but a large component of the Somali bantu in Lower Jubba are Sudense brought by the British.

Elite;
Thanks for posting the video. Diisow was never a good-times folklore dance. It was always a war dance where just before the warriors attack, they play the Diisow to show off power and proudly say what they will do to the enemy. I think lately it is played in parties and other celebratory events. Here it is in Kismaayo in 1930:

Guhad: is that the reason? I had no idea man! N that picture looks majestic.
