Some Facts about Ululation.......... Ancient Greeks used it as a battlecry and an expression of joyful news, similar to ancient and modern middle eastern customs. Ululation goes as far as the ancient Egyptians.

You have no idea how loud this actually is. I was once at a wedding (such things are pretty common at weddings where I'm from). Unbearably loud speakers were blasting music that I could feel in my core more than I could hear. I couldn't even hear myself when I was speaking; that's how loud it was. And then, suddenly, a woman's ululation sounds and it's even louder than the speakers, to the point that I looked at the women for a full 10 seconds to make sure the ungodly noise was coming out of *her* and not the spealers themselves. It's extraordinary and preternatural.
I've heard this as a kid but, an old family guy episode had me interested so I looked it up. Stewie asking achmed what is the sound they make as they are going to kill an infedel .
The ignorance is strong in this comment section. Mixing up of culture , religion, nationality and the reasoning behind this uluation which is celebration.
At a graduation, I heard a lady doing this when her relative was called and received his diploma! I thought it was such a beautiful, haunting sound and something he'd be able to pick out from the crowd since we couldn't bring airhorns :D
@@kaizarkthetitan0 You probably already know this, but Spain and Portugal (the Iberian peninsula) have had direct contact with Arabic/Muslim/Berber people/culture for over 700 years (711-1492) and were ruled by them, although the territory control fluctuated and I would guess they had less and less control as time went on until 1492 when the Reconquista was completed.
i watch lots of arabic culture, arabic music, and arab wedding traditions, and iv seen your comments! lol I THINK ITS AWESOME YOU TAKE PRIDE OF YOUR CULTURE AND LANGUAGE... BTW IS BEAUTIFUL!
The word "burqa" is an arabic word.... "titbarqe3" means a woman wearing a burqa... Burqa3 is a covering that covers the whole head, even the eyes. Mburqe3a meas a woman who wears burqa Niqab is a veil covering everything but the eyes mnaqqeba means a woman wearing a niqab. 7ijab is a scarf used to cover ones a woman's hair, ears, and neck. m7ajjeba means woman who wears 7ijab. Arabic is my native language.
I was Germany as a tourist, and there in the train I geard that sound the first time. It was sad to see so often more immigrants on the street than germans..
yeah all your civilization from religion to,alphabet come from middle east. When their ancestors created cities and science yours were still in the caves
People (12-year old) are just sick. Instead of doing their homework they only come here with hatred which their parents brainwashed them with. Terrible world. Instead of learning about culture, they are only interested in naked harlots and hatred of people, on which they don't have even the slightest idea what they are going through.
My aunt is Somali. At a wedding party (for my cousin) a few years ago a load of her female relatives came over, and they did this a lot - but SIDEWAYS. I'm actually somewhat envious - I may be able to contort my tongue into ridiculous shapes, and I can ululate vertically, but I just can't do it horizontally.
Imagine dreaming about something awesome,like eating actual clouds. Then u hear this noise,it scares u and u woke up because u thought a chicken would enter ur dream and ruin it. Then u realize that u woke up just in time not to be late for ur first interview to join a club. U become happy and glad that u heard the noise,later on u do some research about this,and found this video. U then start realizing that a family member made this noise since u were a toddler. U were glad this noise existed because u managed to go to the club.
just clicked on a link from another post which led me here and WTF?? I first thought after seeing the side view (after she's done....what ever the fuck she's doing) it was a scene from Planet of the Apes.
The title has it right, but the description has it wrong. It's "ululation," not "uvulation." The uvula is a separate part of the vocal tract unrelated to the tongue.
This is done in primarily in both Middle East and Africa, but is also done by Native Americans, some Indian groups, and even here in the Far East by minority groups who held up against westernization. i think the only reason most of the world claps for celebrations nowadays is because its part of the Western imported habits spread it during the colonial age and during the age of globalization. Clappinfg to show approval and celebration is a very Western thing when you think about its origins. If we didnt clap, most of us would ululate too, im pretty sure.

Can you do that for me at about 6am? There's a quid in it fer ya! I used to wake up at a sparrow's fart, but my hearings gone off after spending too much time at the drag strip in Meremere, NZ. 🏎💨💨💨💨💨💨
I don't know why this is such a turn on, but it is. Please don't be offended, but I would very much like to respectfully inquire if women in that part of the world ululate during special moments with their husbands?
Matthew Bright Why single out "that part of the world?" Hippies in British Columbia do that all the time at parties and festivals. Expand your horizons. And, to answer your question, no. If you tried to do this while you were being fucked, you would probably bite your tongue. That's common sense. Nothing stopping you from playing this video on a loop while you're doing it, though. Whatever floats your boat.
Alan Ranta My God, why is the Net so infested with hair trigger jerks? I can't imagine people act like this at home?

It was a goddamn joke for Heaven's sake.

That is why you don't hear it anymore in civilized countries..
E dC ululation was done by the first civilization; therefore, your sentence is invalid.

That was a good joke and the ululating was not bad either.
Never heard anyone ululate with such confidence!
This clip is from the film, Wedding in Galilee, a wonderful look at an arab wedding ceremony and israel/Palestine conflict.
Down here in africa ululations are a common practice always being done during weddings & traditional gatherings

I didn't know regions outside of Africa practised ululation. I heard Ancient Greeks practised it too. I guess we all really do come from Africa.
It is very easy to learn. Just sing the beginning of "La Bamba", but don't say the "La Bamba"-Part.
