Voor D&M 55 ! (Der Gasn Nigun)

Van harte gefeliciteerd, lieve vrienden!

“The ‘street-melody’ (gasn-nign) was played in the street to accompany the procession of guests and in-laws to the ‘khupe’ or during their return after the conclusion of the ceremony.

“This ‘Gasn Nign’ is a very popular traditional tune. A gasn nign is literally a ‘street song’; it’s a tune played to accompany wedding processions.”
