Sound of Ramadan


This is really a video post...but, to help you understand, I've included an short excerpt from my previous entry 'Ramadan Report: The Late Edition'.

'...As soon as Lftar is over the women get back to business in the kitchen preparing dinner which is eaten anywhere from 9pm-12pm depending whose house you are visiting...Most people then have a short sleep until 2.45am, when they wake up for suoar, the last meal before the next day of fasting begins. Suoar is another hearty meal of tagine or duez.  


In larger towns and cities suoar is signaled by the early morning call to prayer. In my site, it was also signaled by drums! Imagine every morning, for one month being woken up by a parade of drums at 2.45am...'

Okay, so now you don't have to imagine anymore. Be sure to listen all the way through.
