Sebiba
Sebiba (Arabic: سبيبة, Tifinagh: ⵙⴱⵉⴱⴰ) 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 was recognized by UNESCO in 2014 for its significance to humanity's intangible cultural heritage.
The Sebiba dance and drum music is rooted in the blacksmith class, or Inaden, among the Moorish Bidhan Tuareg people in Algeria and the Sahel region. The inaden, which made all tools, weapons and jewelry for society, formed a distinct cultural echelon within Tuareg society after being excluded for the two traditional social classes.
The other traditional classes among the Bidhan were the aristocrats, Imajeghen or Imuhagh in Tamasheq language, corresponding to the warriors class (hassan), and the Iklan, slaves or Abīd (Arabic: عبيد). Today, the slaves kidnapped from the Sudan region are free today and form the majority within Tuareg society.
The first day through the tenth day of the first Islamic month of Muharram is the time for rites of passage that usher in the new year. The climax is the tenth day, the Ashura day (Arabic: عاشوراء), which has other religious meanings depending on the Islamic denomination.
New Hijri Year's Day is the following eleventh Muharram. In Djanet, Sebiba is the dance and the entire city festival at the turn of the year.
In Agadez in northern Niger, the Tuareg people celebrate the Bianu festival with dances and parades on the same occasion.[citation needed]
At the Bianu and at the Sebiba festival, the course of the event is formed by the contrast between two population groups: With the Bianu, the city of Agadez is divided into an east and west half for the duration of the event, the residents of the Ksar come for the Sebiba festival, Azellouaz and Ksar El Mihan against each other.[citation needed]
The festival brings back memories of a long conflict that has now been resolved between the two villages. The place Adjahil does not take part in the celebrations, presumably the religious prohibition by the Sufi Tariqa of the Senusiyya, which maintained a Zawiya in Adjahil at the beginning of the 20th century.[citation needed]
