Cheluh Dancers

Posted by DaveB (Exeter, United Kingdom) on 14 October 2007 in People & Portraits.

I believe these guys are Cheluh Dancers, but I'm not sure. They truly are some of the most annoying inhabitants of Place Djemaa el Fna in Marrakech; once they see a tourist coming, they immediately rush over, shake the tassels on their hats, beat their symbals, then demand money. You quickly learn to listen out for them and keep out of their way, but it's not always possible!

Still, they make for a nice picture!

Up in Scotland again for a while so responses might take some time! Comments are always welcome, particularly those offering feedback and criticism on my images! (It's the only way I'll learn!) :)
