Garangao

Garangao is traditional Middle Eastern custom that is being practiced in many of the Gulf countries.  It takes place on the eve of the middle of Ramadan.  In this custom, children who are beautifully dressed in traditional costumes go around the houses singing Garangao songs after sunset prayers.  As they go from house to house, they ask for nuts and sweets.  The giving of nuts and sweets is a symbol of giving food to the disadvantaged people of the world.
