Like the Tuareg, the Wodaabe are a group of nomadic African people who live in light 1.tents that can be moved from place to place. The Wodaabe never stay still for long, but do come together a few times a year for big celebrations. A special place is always 2.reserved for guests.
Two important Wodaabe celebrations have to do with love. In the geerewol 3.ceremony, young woman choose a man to marry in a unique beauty contest. Woddaabe men 4.wrap their heads in attractive turbans, and wear beads and shells that 5.symbolize wealth. They present themselves to the women, hoping to find a bride. Then, at the worso celebration, thousands of Wodaabe families 6.reunite once again. They meet to celebrate all the 7.weddings that have taken place in the past year!
