Flute for the Camel Jumpers

BEIT AL FAQIH, YEMEN - OCTOBER 7: Spectators watch as athletes participate in a dance known as tala, which strenghtens core muscles in the thigh as practise for camel jumping on October 7, 2009 in Beit al Faqih, Yemen. Tala, translated literally from arabic as 'ascension,' involves tribesmen kicking their legs repeatedly, some with their knees as high as their faces to strengthen the thigh and abdominal muscles needed to jump over multiple camels.
