Then comes Almakhdara, as it is an ancient social custom linked to marriages in a number of regions in southern Yemen, such as Hadramawt, Lahj, and Aden. It is a musical concert performed on a wooden stage, next to the groom’s house. The groom usually sits on the stage next to the band while family and friends express their congratulations. In Hadhramaut, for example, family and neighbors gather in the square to dance to the tunes of Hadrami rhythm. Almakhdara begins at midnight and continues until 4 am!
