Zalghouta | An Arab Tradition | زلغوطة من جدتي

The Zalghouta is an Arab Oral wedding tradition, where a woman (usually an elderly woman) poetically sends messages of a prosperous marriage to the groom or bride (here the moderator is sending a message to the groom). The beginning of each message initiates with an eh, an example of what she may say aftewards"may we see you with a beautiful bride and an eternal love to grow with". The moderator may send an unrealistic message abounded with humour, to deliberately entertain her crowd. The crowd then responds with a protracted and louder eeeyyyeeeh, which basically means 'yes' in Arabic, but contextually I'm not aware of its meaning. Every four messages the crowd will cheer with a collective "Lilililililili". The content of the Zalghouta is not fixed and really is contingent by whoever performs it. The Zalghouta is thus characterized by i) The onset of the message with an "Eh" ii) The crowds response with an aggregated "Ehhhh" iii) The Zalghouta terminating with a lively "Lililili' iv) The quality of the moderators vocal and poetic finesse v) The engagement of the crowd. This Zalghouta is performed by my marvellous grandmother. A woman of diligence, reverence and love.
