The Hadhrami Arabs , a minority community in Penang, normally adopts the local Malay custom in their day to day affairs. Weddings are held according to Malay/Muslim custom since most of them have been fully integrated with the Malay community.However, when Najeeb bin Ali Almurtadza Al-Tahir weds Naemah binti Shaikh Alhabshee on May 31, it was a mix of Hadhrami and Malay cultures.
The night was filled with Hadhrami music and the men danced the "samra" and "zafin" in the compound of the bride's family home while the ladies in the house.

Baguih la cam tu Pak Syed ... Kekalkan budaya suku bangsa sendiri. Kalau tidak, habis lenyap dimamah zaman. Teringin juga nak dengar macamana muzik Hadhrami ni. By the way, is there a relation between Hadhrami and Hadhramaut? Pardon my ignorance.

Hadhrami datangnya dari Hadhramaut, Yemen atau Yaman.

Aiiik!! Tok arab pun ada pakai 'bunga malea' ka? (gambar last sekali)
Daun Karapulea,
Benar, ini adalah hasil daripada penyatuan dalam masyarakat setempat, bunga manggar, bunga male, kompang dan sebagainya. Dalam hubungan majlis berkenaan, mereka menghidupkan sedikit adat Hadhrami tetapi tidak melupakan adat Melayu Pulau Pinang. Lebih meriah sikit.
Alhamdulllah,akhirnya dapat juga ana lihat perkahwinan Arab Hadhrami. Budaya ini rasanya tidak lagi diamalkan di Kedah walaupuin terdapat masyrakat Arab Hadhrami seperti ana. Hidup budaya kita semula !
