Thread: Holiday Contest #4 - Hadia In Performance DVD

I love music with emotions and voice, Egyptian and Turkish.

I like the good old Golden Age music pieces, or some of the modern oriental stuff like Mario Kirlis!

I love those oriental-show-opening-songs. You know, the big drama entrance music.

I love Fi Al Awel it's fun & upbeat. I also like flowing music which goes well with veil.

classic egyptian

how cool!

I really like Khaleegy music (to perform Khaleegy), classical Egyptian, or up beat pop music

Just music with poetry ... : taksim !!!!!!

Haifa Wehbe is the best!!
I love all of her songs, especially Nar el ashwa.

I would love to perform to live music... I hardly ever get the chance. Also, I love Mohammed Abdel Wahab.

Live music for me!

Music with several rhythm changes is always a treat!

Honestly, if I can't sit still when hearing it, it means I HAVE to perform to it. If it calls me that much on the first listen, it NEEDS to be danced to!

Classical Egyptian and Saidi.

I guess I don't exactly have a standard favorite as it changes depending on my mood--big, sweeping orchestrals; moody taxims; get-the-party-started pop. I like it all. :)

I love it all, too!

I 'm in love with the full version sung by Oum Koulthoum of Alf leila we leila. It took me a while to get into listening to a piece of music of that length, but it is a wonderful experience once you get the hang of it.

What music I "love" changes with my mood! In general I like fully orchestrated music and/or a nice juicy baladi if I'm dancing to canned music. If it's live music, I'm happy as long as it's Middle Eastern!

In particular, I'm now in love with the music on Lelia of Cairo's "Tarab" cd, especially Fi Yom Wa Layla and Enta Mein, but there's a wonderful Wahashtini on there too!

Soulful, emotional whether it is Egyptian, Turkish, Greek, or other. Music that is not typical or an arrangement of a classic that renews my interest. It's all good!

Classical Egyptian, chaabi and some popular songs espacialy if they are fun and catchy!

My favorites are Armenian and Turkish, esp. Romani with a really good clarinet player.

I too love performing to live music. There is something so organic about creating the music and the dance all together with the energy of the audience. I feel more alive, more connected with a scene like that.

Anything that gets my heart pumping!
I am partial to music with unusual time signatures - anything 9/8, 7/8, 15/16... it makes it that little more interesting!

I love classic egyptian. Some pop here and there is nice. And I love dabke music!

Hi there:

My favorite music is live music!

I love to dance to Egyptian music - just started getting into Shaabi!

beats antique :)

I love anything by Ragheb Alama--smooth emotional voice and fun interesting music

hhhhmmmm let's see - I enjoy a lot of different types of music to perform to - I would say that I enjoy the classic egyptian music but I also like a lot of tribal fusion music. Plus, it's fun to perform to some of the newer music that's on the radio!! lol

my favorite stuff to perform to is classical egyptian. or zamalek muscians!

Live music!
