Djellaba (جلابة) (Moroccan Arabic, also known as Darija (الدارجة)) (also djellabah, galabiya, jellāb(a)) is a traditional long, loose-fitting unisex outer robe with full sleeves worn in the Maghreb region of North Africa and in Arabic-speaking countries along the Mediterranean.

Traditionally djellabas are made of wool in different shapes and colors though nowadays lightweight textile djellabas have replaced wool djellabas in emigrant communities in the West, e.g. Paris, Brussels, et cetera. Among the Berbers, or Imazighen, such as Imilchil in the Atlas Mountains, the color of a djellaba indicates the marital status (single or married) of the bearer—a dark brown djellaba indicating bachelorhood.^{[citation needed]} Traditionally, djellabas reached down to the ground but the lightweight textile djellabas are somewhat slimmer and shorter. Men often wear a light-colored djellaba sometimes along with a red Fez hat and soft yellow slippers (balgha, Arabic: بلغه, or babouche) for religious celebrations and weddings.

Ricardo Alexander O’Neil Weeks (born July 2, 1972), better known by his stage name DJ Black or DJ Negro, is a Panamanian recording artist, songwriter, producer and music executive. In 2008 DJ Black wrote the smash hit "Chucha Su Madre" which was the number one record in Panama for several months. Since 2008, DJ Black's song "Chucha Su Madre" has been the subject of both controversy and praise. It went straight to number 1 in the Panama radio and video charts and was featured in Carnival 2008. Due to its use of the words "Chucha Su Madre"(which in English translation means "Mother Fucker") the government of Panama censored the song. This action meant that DJ Black was unable to claim the official "El Rey De Carnival" crown. Despite this fact, DJ Black performed the song for millions; and the single itself continues to set records for most often played track on Panamanian radio. Due to his rising popularity among the country's common communities, DJ Black has recently been appointed by President Ricardo Martinelli to be the Director/Minister of Culture
