Two From Morocco

Video Finds of the Day

Every city and town in America has a festival that is about its sense of itself. Seattle has Seafair which is about how we don't make sense to ourselves, which IS our sense of ourselves. In Morocco they have moussem. Here's one of a Berber tribe that features ululation, horses, and muskets.

Then there's this one, which is just too cute.

New magic Word

Video Find of the Day

-- and the magic word is Căluş. Or Căluşari. The root word is the Romanian word for horse. What we have here is the kind of dancing associated with horsemen off their horses. I think I may have figured out why white people are said to not be able to dance. It's that whole horse culture thang. For two or three thousand years we didn't dance as well as our horses.

Calusul Oltenesc



I like this Căluş-style cimbalon music better.
