Ciyaar dhaqameed in Afmadoow

[jalaaludin5]

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:

Not much of warriors considering they have been under ethiopia for God knows how long

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

Traditionally it was for wars. My grandmother told us stories about Diisow and how it was the only way women would know what is going on. The reer Waamo, unfortunately, mistreat their women more than any other Somali clan. So when the men are about to go to a war, they don't tell the women anything. They would normally meet up somewhere away from the families, and then would get the blood going through the chants of Diisow.The common chants of Disow include:
ee hooyaa waan kuu digayaa
Dardaaran u diyaar garoow.... When you hear that warriors mean business.
