Jordan’s Traditions


There are many stereotypes in my country, Jordan. Today I will talk about one which is very interesting. The popular folklore for the task force of the Ramtha .It was created since 1940's. It includes twenty five men as dancers. This group adopt (Dabkah) as a basic in the performance of popular folklore. It depended in turn on the music for this group, with the rhythm of drums and with the sound made by a stroke of the feet of dancers. This thing accompanied by the singing voice, which in turn give the directions to the dancers. Also, this group involved in local and international festivals. There is a festival, which is held every year in my country and Ramtha’s folklore is one of the most important event in it. In these days, everywhere you present a wedding party in Jordan you will be interested with (Dabkah). The groom invited this group to celebrate weddings with his family and guests. They song a popular songs mentioned the name of groom. You will be very interested if you see like this show.
