Doesn't it in a way resemble a lazier version of this?

[Estarix]

It doesnt look the same.

In the video the dancer does not clap his hands instead holds them together. back and shoulders are sloping back rather than hunched position and it seems their making a kicking action forward.

In this dhaanto clip it's like the women are in a trance

This is guuxa, it's a bit different from dhaanto.

^^^ that looks very cool.

Which region in Somalia is the guuxo played?

[eliteSomali]

I know it's played in Shiniile, Somali Galbeed. I don't know much of the places its played in. I heard it's played in khalaafo too but I doubt they play guuxa there.

[Beans]

Interesting.Never heard of guuxo.Somalia has such rich reigional diversity and traditions.

[eliteSomali]

Yes indeed But its gradually declining because most of the new generations don't bother to learn it.
