Shamadan
Someone kindly supplied the details of the film this shamadan clip s from when it was on the YT channel. Unfortunately all the details were in the comments section and have been lost. Any clues The clip is set in a hamam (bathhouse) during Layl al Aroosa, the night (or two nights) before the wedding ceremony, The bride takes a ritual bath and henna s applied to the bride and everyone else. Its all considered a bit old fashioned now particularly as every house has its own bathroom and there s no need to go to a communal bathhouse. My experience has been that henna artists come to the house where all the ladies have gathered. During the henna there s food, music (if the music is live the musicians are always female), lots of dancing and joy.
