The Lebanese Zaffe is what makes weddings in Lebanon unique and many are now including this ancestral performance in major events as well to add this unique cultural flavor to their celebrations.
The Zaffe is not new in Lebanon. It has been part of the cultural traditions of the Lebanese villages where men in folkloric attires dance to the old beats of drums and music in an enthralling presentation.
The dabke traditional dance takes part in the Zaffe and also various performances, like sword dance and spectacular acrobatic feats.
In recent decades, Zaffe bands have started including women, and some of these bands have been adding modern twists to their presentation while the traditional predominates.
The Zaffe reigns in Lebanese weddings but they are more and more seen in events.
So, if you are looking for a Zaffe band for your event or your wedding, here are some of the best in Lebanon:
