You've told to me of the North African/Moroccan influences on modern Khaleeji. There's gotta be a Iraqi connection too but where the Iraqi influence ends and where the Maghrebi (Moroccan) connection beginnings is hard to tell. The "shaking head" thing I've seen in Iraqi and Maghrebi is absent in Khaleeji from what I've seen...hmmmmmmm...
How long is your hair now??? Your hair is probably longer than mine now...although it's coming back, Mashallah! |
Yeah, Mark: there are always numerous influences going into these things, and it's hard to tell where one starts and another stops. That's just my personal favorite theory
My hair seems to be morphing into a mullet: the hair on the back of the head is just growing in leaps and bounds compared to the rest of my head. Although mullets seem to be very cool in the Iberian peninsula now, as I'm sure other parts of Europe, I will not stand for one on my head. To the salon!
