Description
Celebrations in Comoros means eating big. If you step foot on Moh� in July or August, you will certainly have a chance to take part to a �Grand mariage� (literally great wedding), which festivities can last for more than a week. The most elaborate sometimes require more than 3 years of planning. Among the other different manifestations, you will see dances like the wadaha (women�s dance), the chigoma (men�s dance), or the diridji (men�s danse around a table). You will admire the jewels and beauty masks of the women. The gala evening is for both men and women, and you might be invited to dance along. The most spectacular of all certainly is the tam tam boeuf, where men defy a bull dancing before letting it go run in the streets.
