Malika its good runtaa. You see where the men raise they hands in the air and move to and fro? That's from a Diisoow dance by mostly in lower Somalia/NFDs (a dance of lo'leey - cowboys).

 

There is another called Gaaleeyso (balaqleey to some) that is danced by hardcore camel boys

Hoobow hoobow

Hadday Balaqley tahay,anaa baabkeda laibaray,

Hadday 'balaqley' u ektahaye!

 

Is there any video or audio for this?

That's theatre man, not a real folk dance, i think these sort of dances were manipulated for optimum effects. I can see 'Diissoow' style jump and slide motions (of poor quality) with the ladies gracefully (as ever ) floating to and fro.

 

Entertaining, yes. But original? It's hard to tell.

 

Dhubad lool no vids at all. Someone should do a project and collect all this folk dances/songs all across somalia/S.galbeed, nfd iyo djibouti. That would be a swell project. Highly enjoyable.

 

...anaa baabkeeda lay barayee

war hooy kuma bili xumaan jirinee

haddeey bilbilaabaneysaayeey

dib beey ka balaaran doontaayeey

hoy haddeey balaqleey u ektahayeey

 

Intaad dheregtaad dhaqaaqdaayeey

Dhadhaab dhinac nooga soo mariyeey

Aboow dhiisiyoow dhar noo keeneey
