Sebiba Touareg Exhibition of Djanet in Algeria. Sebiba () is the term used in Algeria to designate a festival and the Tuareg people's dance performed on this occasion and accompanied by female drummers in the Sahara oasis of Djanet in the Tassili n'Ajjer region in southern Algeria. The dance originated among the descendants of black African slaves and is part of the celebrations for the Islamic Ashura Festival. Cultural environment The Tuareg people in Algeria and in the Sahel are traditionally divided into two social classes. The upper class of the aristocrats is called Imajeghen or Imuhagh in Tamasheq language and corresponds to the warriors (hassan) among the Moorish Bidhan. At the lower end of the social class are the Iklan, slaves or Abīd among the Bidhan (). The slaves kidnapped from the Sudan region are free today and form the majority within Tuareg society. The blacksmiths, which made all tools, weapons and jewelry, formed a separate group that was previously outside of society and was outlawed. They are called Inaden, according to the Bidhan, this is why the Sebiba dance and drum music have black African roots. Another male dance of the black Tuareg population, Tazanzareet, was accompanied by female singing and whistling; it was hardly ever performed. In this noble Tuareg seldom dance, their wives play the single-stringed fiddle Imzad or beat the mortar drum Tendee to accompany the singing men. Characteristics Sebiba murid.
