NobaNoor @ El Tanbura Hall

The nubian "NobaNoor" group regarded themselves as singers with songs for every occasion from birthing songs with accompanying rituals in which a new born baby would have it's face bathed in the Nile with food thrown into the river as an offering to the souls of spirits in the Nile, through to tender songs known as "Azaa", performed to mark the death of loved ones. Dance also played a central role in their culture with a dance called "Ferri" representing the movement of "Bulti" fish swimming through the waves. for more information about the group please visit: www.elmastaba.org
