Maltese Fella

Description

For those who have no idea what this is about, I've drawn Fella in traditional maltese clothes.

The Fella in the middle, together with the one on the left are playing what we maltese call ghanja. L-ghannej (The one singing) is rhyming up a song at that instant (what we maltese call spirtu pront) and the Fella with the guitar is helping the ghannej by playing a rhyming tune.

The female Fella on the right is wearing traditional maltese female clothes that aren't worn today for obvious reasons. The huge cloth she's wearing on top of her head is called an ghonella. Women use to wear this to protect them when they needed to go out and it was usually black or white.

I hope you found this informative and liked my drawing :)

(PS If I made a mistake on what I wrote or you'd like to share more information about traditional maltese clothes you're more than welcome :))
