"زغروطه" کی انوکھی رسم #Zaghrouta #زغروطه #ululation #explainthis #explainthis2 | Explain This

ululation during joyous moments has been part of ancient cultures across africa and asia for thousands of years. calling it “yodeling” and doubling down with “weird” after being told it’s part of their culture was just crazy unwarranted.

APF Catering & Events on Instagram: "When the kelk starts… you know the celebration just got real. Across the Middle East it’s known as the ululation, that high-pitched “lee-lee-lee-lee-lee!” sound women make at weddings, engagements, births, and big celebrations. It’s a sound of joy, pride, and blessing. You’ll hear it at Arab, Persian, Kurdish, Turkish, North African, and even some South Asian celebrations."
