In Tunisia, the history of stambali goes back to the arrival of the first slaves from Mali, Timbuktu specifically. Stambali is a religious ritual, a journey with the rhythm of the “gombri” and “chkackek,” traces an individual and collective hypnosis, an annual tribute that the disciples of Sidi Saad pay to their master during an initiatory journey and rite of purification that lasts three days.
