I am proud of being a

I am proud of being a Bakhtiari. We are passionate and fun loving people. We love to party. The last time I attended a Bakhtiary wedding was 30 some years ago at Riverside banquet hall in Ahvaz. People were dressed differently but same Toshmal and men and women and children were dancing hand in hand. PAYANDEH bud IRAN

Party Girl aziz, thanks for sharing you made my day

Not a Bakhtyari, just curious

But I found this for you;

A.P.

I'm a "Char langi" from my mother's side, (She is the Grand daughter of Sardaar as'ad bakhtiaari)..... You?

hi every body, and thank you

hi every body, and thank you party girl.

In Larestan the same music (Karnay v naqarah, or Saz v naqara), and the same dress and "Dar Bazi", and "dasmal bazi".
The big question is : why always is chaotic and out of order.I doubt always has been like this. When we look at Persepolise, ancient buildings, Masjeds, Carpets traitional music, etc.... all very organized, but todays life from wedding to funeral, Baazar to streets, school or homes...all very chaotic,unorganized and with no dicepline. Why??????

what, no slapping in this

what, no slapping in this wedding?

Toshmaal

I grow up and that was the best part of the wedding, "choo baozi". then followed by the dance of women and men in a circular form. I wish I could find a good clip on more disciplined one. Khatir, Toshmaal, karna refer to the people who played these instruments. Hamzali, was the master of this traditional music in our region, the south.

This is a game of bravery!

Bakhtiaris or lurs consider themselves braves and to show their bravery they play this games in ceremonies.I have seen them play the game with sticks a belts too ,in case someone misses they end up with a bruised leg instead of broken leg.

Simply

Fantastic.

I loved the tradition, the colors, the festive mood ..

Char langi ya haft langi?

Good job

The fact that , under such gender segregation & dress codes , these poor folks in small villages keep a minimum of their tradition alive is in itself a blessing . Choob zani is a tradition, going back to ancient Persia , when boys from the ages of 7-15 were given swords as part of their military training . In post-Sassanids , because of Arms restrictions placed by Khaliffs , The tribes used Mock wooden swords to practice, which, continues to present day . Thanks Party Girl !

‫داستان اینا چیه؟

بنظر میاد که ‫بجایه چک زدن، خواستگارها به ماتهت هم تَرکه میزنند! برنده (آقایه داماد) اونکه تَرکه رو سفتتر زد؟

Choob Bazi...

It brings back whole lot of memories of a beautiful tradition from beautiful people!!! Thanks.

Awesome video - God bless their souls

They are my people, I love them all.

That was the best video of happiness and cheers inside Iran by a population that is constantly harassed by IRI regime.

God Bless them that they keep their tradition and culture alive.

Good clip

Actually Choob Kari or Choob Bazi is a very common ritual

This is a very common ritual carried out in weddings and other gatherings in central plains of Iran (from Isfahan to the Persian Gulf coast) and mostly in tribal areas. They call it Choob Kari or Choob Bazi and has its own rules! The ultimate objective is to hit the opponent's feet/legs!

Very chaotic and out of tune
