Somali Folklore Dance Group Dancing Dhaanto

[@saidamir4181]

This is the original dhaanto not the fake ones i see nowadays. They should learn from this video.

[@najma2613]

Upload more videos please. These are crucial for our culture and for somalis to see a representation of themselves and culture. There isn't enough authentic somali dances available online. A bunch of uni student trash without traditional singing.

[@khayreOne]

This is one of the best Somali Folk dance. Thanks Baahalow for posting it!

[@Baahalow]

@Mjadh The name of the song is Halgankii Soomaaliyeed, It is written by Late Prof. Ahmed Nur Yusuf , and Lyrics and Music composed by Al-Ustad Ahmed Naji Sa'ad, The Vocal in this introductory part was Late Omar Dhuule Ali May God's Mercy on Him the Greatest Somali Singer of all time,

[@Baahalow]

Great Poet and songwriter Mohamoud Abdullahi Sangub who is the Lead Dancer in this Video was once Told me that many Somali Elders had a great knowledge of the Mixtire of theMedicine used by Pharoah's to Mummify the Bodies of the Pharoah's. but would never reveal due to the religious complications, That is ISlam opposes mummyfying or Preserving the Dead Body, and he added that he inherited a lot of Stuff through a poems along with my friend who is a video journalist we hope to make a documentary

Thank you Baahalow to preserv beautiful somali culture . Inchallah , God will give us peace and unity ! Land of Punt and Origins of Ancient Egyptians . I make now research about history in Ancient Egypt and I saw Ancient Egyptians women dancing Dhaanto . I was surprised . Ancient Egyptians used also Barki and alot of similar things used also by Somali people like the Hangool . Westians divide you because ,you can be the leaders of all Africa , be united with the name of God ,Allah and go!

History : According to the historian Brian Brown « Again the representations of the early Puntites, or Somali people, on the Egyptian monuments, show striking resemblances to the Egyptians themselves. » By Brian Brown New York: Brentano's[1923]/ According to the historian Richard Pankhurst :"""The Egyptians sometimes called Punt land Ta-Netjeru, meaning "Land of the Gods," and considered it their place of origin ." (Richard Pankhurst, "The Ethiopian Borderlands":)

[@qaradd4265]

waa dhaantadii originaalo aheyd maalmahan dadkii waa la iska bood boodaye

[@sajokal20]

this dance is only danced by the somalis from the land of Pount and their Ancient-egyptians children ! It is proved historically !

[@Baahalow]

[@Baahalow]

This Dance is Famous throughout all Somali inhabited area of Horn of Africa especially from Harar to Hobyo

[@Baahalow]

@Ruweyn The Only Ogaden individual in this Band is Abwaan Sangub the rest of the band are hawiye and Jareer weyn, it is rather a Somali Dance Predominantly play in Ogaden but keepin mind not only Lives in Ogadenia there are other Somali entities in Ogadenia who ain't Ogaden indeed,

[@eyman143]

really i like Dhaanto but the somali culture is becoming rarely dhanto used why don't we keep it up and play long live though it's our Hido iyo Dhaqan?

[@gamasb8222]

It is so sad that our culture is disappearing infront of our eyes.and so call politicians and culumo never talk about this alarming issue

[@sajokal20]

“The Making of Egypt” (1939). Petrie states that the Land of Punt was “sacred to the Egyptians as the source of their race.”/ In “Short History of the Egyptian People,” by E. A. Wallis Budge. Budge stated that “Egyptian tradition of the Dynastic Period held that the aboriginal home of the Egyptians was Punt.”

[@sajokal20]

Encyclopædia Britannica describes Punt as follows: “in ancient Egyptian and Greek geography, the southern coast of the Red Sea and adjacent coasts of the Gulf of Aden, corresponding to modern coastal Eritrea, Somalia and Djibouti .”/ “

the dynastical pharaohs of kemet, wore exatcly the same traditional dresses that these somalian folklore dance performers are wearing.. notice that thing the sistas are wearing on the heads.. well thats what all kemetians used to wear back in the days of old.. but anyways this further proves that kemetians wherent not only 50% Somalian-cushites, but rather 70% Somalian-cushites.. anyways bless the MAiN decendants of ancient egyptian=Kemetians = SOMALi
