Thread: Music for Raks Assaya

Hi Bhuzzers,
I'm just curious what is your favorite piece of music for cane/stick dance?
Or if lucks strikes, I'm looking for a list of music used for Raks Assaya.

So what gets your cane twirling?..g.:

hawa ya hawa-CD haya ya yasmina
Ana Said- CD oriental fantasy 11
Luxor baladna-CD Wings of isis
Aldooa-CD Dandasha

I love these:

Derwood Green, Arabian Knights, Efroof Bwadinah, or Raqset Al-Assayah, all by Hossam Ramsey

"Celebration" by Americanistan

There's something about Raks Assaya that wants a zurna or mizmar.

I assume that getting a wee bit silly to "Boys of Winter", the theme song of the Pittsburgh Penguins does not count? :-) Pretending that a cane is a hockey stick can be kinda fun during the playoffs.

My favorites are A Nada and Hadouni. Shashkin/Ya Ein Mulayyetin (sp?) is of course a classic, but I am not too inspired by this tune, I like having strong accents.

I love music by Upper Egypt Ensemble.

I love this one too!
Ana Said- CD oriental fantasy 11

does anyone knows the song used by Orit here : [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LXUOICtZVDQ&feature=related]YouTube - Saidi[/ame]
