    Spooky – it reminds me of the Greek “zeimbekiko” dance. The body language most definitely, I’d have loved to hear the music, too…

    Nice to see them out of traditional garb and letting their hair down – looks almost Bollywoodish!

    Yes, Karma: when you enter the compound you could almost be in India/ Pakistan. They’re Balushis and come from Baluchistan, now divided between present-day Iran and Pakistan. So while they’ve settled down here over generations they’re closer to the subcontinent than to the Arabs in their looks, customs, food and dress.
