World music · North Africa

Hi there! So, when you sometimes attend weddings over there, does the sound—like the tabl with the zokra, darbouka, bendir, mezoued, etc.—and the music played by the organist, sometimes accompanied by gunshots or those 8 huge firecrackers each, not just absolutely *destroy* your ears with how loud it is? Like, your spit practically flies out of your mouth so fast you could walk on Anis Zen’s stomach, right? I mean, do you ever cover your ears during these festive events? Because my brother’s getting ready for his wedding there this August, and I remember back in 2016, I *suffered* through my maternal uncle’s wedding—especially with the tabl, ugh. How do you all handle the noise? Do you just not worry about it too much? Have a great day! https://youtu.be/tH_IidGm_wg?si=nYUrlfgq7jkwiZRl
