Description

Sudan 2013, my second submission from this series, again the same ceremony held every Friday evening in Omdurman, at the Hamad al-Neel cemetery - a vast, dun-colored cemetery in Omdurman - which is the headquarters of the al-Qadiriya order (Sufi group) in Sudan and was founded by sheikh Hamad al-Neel, who is buried at a nearby mosque.

The pounding beat gets louder as you walk to the edges of the circle and see what they were all watching: green, red and leopard-clothed mystics swirling and dancing in a hypnotic fashion in the middle of the circle which is the order’s rituals; dance, music and colorful attire, that combine African and Islamic heritage mixed in a very peculiar way.

You can check the rest of the series in my gallery folder mahmoudyakut.deviantart.com/ga...
