Thread: Holiday Contest #4 - Hadia In Performance DVD

hi! I love traditional Egyptian Cabaret music that moves me and has drama!

I love performing my opening number to a magency which has all the different elements in it.... for restaurants I love arabic pop!
x

Something different! I like to try and find good music that hasn't already been done to death (I love the classics as much as anyone but there are some pop numbers that I could happily not hear again for a year or 2!!)

I like Egyptian pop, shaabi with fun accents, songs with tempo changes. And definitely throw some classical pieces in the mix too.

My absolute favourite music is a powerful entrance piece with dynamic mood and temp changes. Examples of pieces of music that inspire me again and again (I'm an improv dancer) are Set al hosen, Layali Rouqash, Sayed Balahaa's work, Horacio and Beata numbers (Arabian Dream, Enchanted Mimi, Talisman, etc) and Amir Sofi compositions.

I LOVE HADIA!

Really gooey, emotional baladi.

...love beledi, shaabi, and sometimes a little "new age egyptian".

Anything heavy with a strong beat.

yay!

Live music!

lately I've found myself listening to my old George Abdo cds

Hmmm...baladi amd swooshily orchestrated Egyptian oriental music. And khaleegy :)

pick me, pick me!

My absolute favorite is performing to live music. I love the classics: Leylet Hob, Leyla, Ana Fi, mostly medium to fast paced. My husband is a musician and plays Oud and we often perform together.

Egyptian beledi for me.

I'm pretty eclectic when it comes to music - as long as it isn't Hakim!

I tend to like the classics the best though, although I also love Light Rain!

I could never narrow it down to just one style....

little bit of everything?

My favorite is old-style Egyptian, think Hassan Abou Seoud's old records...the baladi progressions & drum solos are my favorite kinds of songs to dance to.

I like Mario Kirlis, too! (can't remember who said it first)

I'm a soulful type of girl, weather its fun,shaabi, egpytian if it makes you want to dance it has me written all over it :-)

In an ideal world, live Arabic music.
At the moment I'm a little bit obsessed with Fatme Serhan, too.

I like the old school Eddie the Sheik and George Abdo style music. Miss the hilarious and cheesy album covers, too!

woot-woot!

HTML Code:

Modern music with lots of changes.

Ohh, Ideally Turkish upbeat music. although a close second would be a live drummer. A live drummer can find energy and moves in you, you never even knew you had :D

Oh dear - I love so many different musics!! Love baladi, love fusion things like Beats Antique, love live acoustic stuff, Salatin Al Tarab... the list goes on and on..!

I love Classical Egyptian music. One can never get enough of the Cairo Orchestra.

I like pieces with several distinct sections, with changing rhythms. Instrumental, not vocal!

(Still going? Oh, what the heck...)

things that are pretty heavy on the drums. My taste is really very eclectic, other than that.

"It' got a great beat and you can dance to it!"

Hadia is one of my very favorites!
