In all countries of the Orient women share a life sphere of its own which is filled up with lots of songs.Within this sphere that is hardly noticed by male visitors from abroad Setona learned how to work the typical Henna tattoes without whom no traditional wedding would be complete. And she was trained in specific African kinds of female healthcare as vapour-baths and burning incences. In Cairo today she is the so called Queen of Henna. In the traditional wedding ceremonies she takes care about the young women expecting their wedding, prepares special wedding food and teaches the old songs that women sing during the wedding ceremony – in this way she keeps alive tradition in a changing world. |
