When the crops grow is a time after a long period of drought and famine, the word "saxansaaxo" is a Somali word that describes the sense of relief, when the smell of rain can be felt in the air. This painting is a traditional celebration for that exact moment. They dance in relief with the smell of rain surrounding them.
