Eastleighwood Dhaanto
Dhaanto is a style of traditional Somali music and folk dance and it's what Eastleighwood does too
Dhaanto is a style of traditional Somali music and folk
dance. It is specific to certain Somali-speaking areas in the Horn region. The
dance-song was revived during the Dervish period in the early 20th century,
when it was used to raise the esprit de corps of soldiers and was often sung on
horseback. Additionally, the genre was employed in Islamic poetry. Modern
exponents of the dhaanto style include the Somali singer-songwriter. Local
women's organizations alongside youth groups from universities came. Traditional
dhaanto dance, alongside fire throwers and lively plays made it the grassroots
activists who inspire revolutionary acts of bravery every single day. Dhaanto
dance builds knowledge and understanding of Somali Muslim culture through
music. Midnimo (the Somali word for "unity") brings Somali artists
from around the world for residencies that include public concert performances,
workshops, and artist-led discussions on campus and in the community. These
events are designed to facilitate and inspire dialogue and interaction through
artistic and academic interventions for Somali and non-Somali audiences.
