Morrocan Chaabi

In this clip a Chaabi band is playing at a wedding. Chaabi is Moroccan pop music. Check out the female dancers. Moroccan dance is characterized by a back and forth swaying of the head, lots and lots of hair tossing! These folkloric movements came from a ritual trance dance where women would toss their hair, swaying their head in a back and forth motion to induce a trance-like state.
