Hi everyone,
Does this mean 'everyone was rich in some way or the other?'
It's talking about a celebration on the street.
إيقاعات محلية وأخرى من شتى أنحاء العالم، قديمة و حديثة كان الجميع جزلا بطريقة أو أخرى
Thank you!

Rich/eloquent
Its meaning differs. It could mean "eloquent" since the text talks about local rhythms
