I thought I would share this funny viral video of Irqai hosa from a southern Iraqi city.
For those not familiar with this term (which we also use in Assyrian to denote something that is crowded or loud) :

In English. هوسات عراقيه means Iraqi obsessions or Iraqi rashes. They are popular poetic enthusiastic songs within the heritage of Iraqi folklore customs and traditions. They are performed on occasions of joy and sadness, and usually start with 'the horrors' . They are predominantly peformed by tribes, and are used to denote power, pride and manhood.
