Thread: Holiday Contest #4 - Hadia In Performance DVD

Classical Egyptian!

The varied paces, the emotion, the rhythm... :oD

Music which lets me be a drama queen ;-)

music I can do wings or veil to!

Live Drum Solo!

Love classic, or modern in the classic style, egyptian music with full orchestration....so beautiful, dynamic and exciting. 2nd fave would be songs with great vocals and lyrics....love the emotion!

Classical Egyptian!

I love dancing to all kinds of music! Though I think I'd have to pick drum solos as one of my all time favorites.

Live music with a full-bodied sound. Yummy.

Love live acoustic Arabic music!
Love Hadia!

Classical and drum solos

I have to agree with Lesedi's comment (page 1). Eddie Kochak is LOVVVVVVELY to dance to (Especially his Volume 6 album).

Djinn is great fun (performed to Brooklyn Baladi on Saturday, it was a hit).

For practice ANYTHING is game. It's fun to dance to the washing machine's 6/8 rhythm or do combinations to the theme song from Spongebob Squarepants.

Any Leylet Hob version in existence will do :)

Fast paced drum solos!!!

:-),

Have always loved music by which one can Raks Assaya, but have only recently started performing it.

Otherwise, love it all! But for a full-on show, 15-20 minutes, love the diversity of the typical 5-part Vintage Oriental/American Oriental/Dinosaur-type music set!

I love it all!

I went to a Hadia workshop when I first started to dance, so only about 50% went down the digestive system... but it sure helped!
I love classical egyptian with a bit of saidi here and there.

reply : I love live music and violin or oud

Most definitely live music is my favorite.

Classical instrumentals with lots of changes and accents you can sink your teeth into.

Delicious dreamy classics.

Echoing many others before me...LIVE music, of course! Especially classical Egyptian. Also using a lot of debke songe in my shows lately...and there are some really great electronic remixes of arabic pop that I've been sneaking in too. Since I like to "whip my hair" like Willow, I'll have to add khaleeji.

I love baladi taqsims!

Anything that I find hard to stay still, when listening.

live music!
I also love a good moody classic with lots of oud, I really love the old-school am cab sound, especially John Bilezikjian, George Abdo and Eddie Kochak!

Alf Leyla Wa Leyla is a great one!

I love classic egyptian orchestra, music with lots of changes in rhythm, mood and pace.

Classical Egyptian!

Live music with lots of tempo changes, stops, a soulful song like "Beautiful is the Night", oud & vocals by Nazir Latouf locally here in the Bay Area, a great drum solo ..... and my current favorite track "Min Hobi Fik Ya Ghari"!

Any and all - too hard to decide which I like better

Hilwa ya Laba di (it is a wonderful Oriental Mejanse) with an incredible saidi piece that drives me crazy!!!!!!
