But now and days in every somali weddings wether they are dir hawiye sheikhaal isaaq Harti cadcad they do dhaanto , few weeks ago i went to a wedding of a xawaadle and reer xammar cad cad they were doing dhaanto marka ciyaar soomaaliga xiligeeda la gaadho, now and days its A hype trend to do dhaanto ciyaar somali

loooooooooooooooooooooooool at the reer xamer doing dhanto. i think its division of labour khalid. when a society grows like the Absames did in centirues gone by, so does arts like music and poetry etc. i dont really know what era it started but i wouldn't be suprised if it was developed out of the military victory dances perhaps as will as triumphant parades. Did you know that Reer Ugas Warfa told the Sayed they were doing a dhanto parade for him when they lured him and killed his abti, yes, sometimes it can be used as a ruse too. lets ask Hanqadh, Ina Aadan or Faraax i am sure they will know.khalid ali wrote:when did you guys started doing dhaanto ma in the mid 17 century or 18 century any way the reason of this topic is , if you go to somali weddings now and days when it's time for ciyaar somali. they always do dhaanto, 10 years ago that wasent te case before the year 2000 no one did dhaanto at wedding maybe the ogaden folks and the people who live in the ogaden.

Ps: i wouldn't say Dhanto is becaming popular amongs others only in the last decade, i have seen idoor weddings and even Haweeys do it since i could remmebr as a wee boy in the early ninities in kenya/scandinavia etc.

Re: ogadens how did you guys invent dhaanto
Dhaanto is the oldest Somali folk dance...it first appeared in the mid 15th century and begun as a ritual 'Warrior Dance' or victory dance in the battlefield, according to some Somali historians it was first performed by the army of Ahmed Gurey when his forces defeated well known Ethiopian kingdoms. Original Dhaanto is structured in 4 parts:
1. Sung Poetry
2. Rhythmic clapping
3. Refined movement of the head and shoulders swinging back and forth
4. Beating of feet
Hall of fame of dhaanto has been awarded to Baarleex ( Cabdullaahi Xirs) without dispute. His famously known as 'Baarleex' "

sababtoo ah dhaantooyinkiisa inta badan waxey u badanyihiin amaaan dumar uu ammaanayo, ama uu jaceel kaga hadlayo, balse Baar-Leex, Baar waa geedka laantiisa ama laanta dhinac uga baxdo geedaha waaweeyn etc, Leex waa wax la leexiyo ama dhinac loo jeediyo, ama wax la dhalan-rogo, ama shey booskiisa yaaley laga qaadey oo laga durkiyey meeshii aasaaska u aheyd ama asalkiisa.
marka guud ahaan Baar + Leex micnaheedu waa Wadna-Gooye, sababta Baarleex loogu bixiyey ayaana ka danbeesay in dumar badan oo ciyaari jirey ama ka qeeb qaadan jirey dhaantooyinkiisa ay aad ula dhici jireen miraha dhaantada uu qaadayo isla markaasna mid walba jecleed in ay guursato ama ay rafiiq ka dhigato.

Anyhow nowadays dhaanto has been westerned and made popular by Jaango and other singers such as nimco dareen, this is the type that is played in the west, specially weddings because of the catchy tune and easy to understand lyrics.
