It seems more like an arab tradition and maybe malay/indo too if i'm not mistaken. You won't find those lanterns hanging in SE Asia, but you will find drummers (even those without drums) walking the streets and calling others to wake up.

In Malaysia and Indonesia too...

The drummer culture is very popular in Central and East Africa. They like wild safari dance while beating the huge drums . A wonderful experience to witness their performance during festivals.
