Music at night during Ramadan
Short description
Giovanni Battista Brocchi tells about Ramadan by also reporting what he saw in Cairo. There one sleeps during the day and sings and plays at night.
Text on source
In Cairo per non provare l'incomodo del digiuno si ricorre all'espediente di dormire tutto il giorno, eludendo così la legge, e burlandosi del Profeta. Alla notte si tripudia e si gozzoviglia, si canta e si suona.
