cut the lies, dhaanto was invented by Ogadens
we dont claim the other dozens of dances somalis created, look at these docils and langabs crying about Ogaden culture,
Dhaanto was a warrior dance, where man and females dont touch each other, hence they face each other, the females encourage the man to go and fight, its kept islamic no hands toucinh,.
these people in xamar and other somali tribe dont do justice for dhaanto as all they do is jump,
dhaanto has many verious forms, dirgaax,qalbso, etc many forms,
many types, there is an entire documentary on estv about dhaanto and how its meant to be done, and its only done right by us Ogadens,
we invetnedt many somali cultural things, gabay, poetry, look at 10 famous somali poets, 9 waa Ogaden, 1 waa dhulbahante
where would somali gabey/poetry be with out Raage Ugaas, Qaman bulxaan,
do you know why somalis do helyo before poery slams? Rage ugaas not only laid down the rules but how its performed, the rituals, the rules of the two sides should follow, how long to wait befire the other side replies back with shaanto if they are far away or next to him,
basic rules, we wrote it down and rage ugaas was alive in the early 1700s,
after somali freedom, xamar our capital had 6 somali statues, all 6 were Absame/Ogaden and Jidwaq,
no other somali has contributed to Somali history like we have, no need to lie about Ogaden culture inflluence in somali language, poetry and dhaanto and diso etc,
no single hawiye or dir or anyone other than Ogadne did gabey or pery, in fact the sayidka once banned hawiy from doing poerty after he was disgusted with how they did it and onyly allow dhulbahante and 1door to comepte against Ogaden as they are the best after Ogadens , the sayidka banned the hawiye only after he used a lot of F words, swearing this is alien to somalis, we were shocked,
wallahi whenever i'm at a Somali function and they play dhaanto, i just leave the room.
