Musicians of the Sultan of Agadez's court perform praise songs on al-gaita (shawm) and ganga (drum) for him as part of three days of festivities celebrating Eid al-Fitr, the holiday ending Ramadan. The sultan is seated within the structure on the right where he receives guests, while spectators gather to observe displays of horsemanship on the grounds of the sultan's palace.
