Thread: ISO Footage of dancing to Howa Sahih

I just want to see what other dancers have done with this music.

I have that great footage of Mona dancing to this at home and I found only 2 clips on you-tube so far.

what do y'all know of?

I'm not familar with that song. Which footage of Mona?

This is the song:
[ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2gSVk9zB7g0]YouTube - Asmaa Lmnawar - Howa sahih هو صØ*ÙŠØ* الهوى غلاب - اسماء المنور[/ame]
[ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_G_S1YhQnF8]YouTube - Oum Kalthoum - Howwa Sahih El-Hawa Ghallab (Is it true that love is irresistable)[/ame]

Here are the two clips I found of dancers so far:
[ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wjy_eO5BVDI]YouTube - Mercedes Nieto ( Hungary )[/ame]
[ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2Yynpv3j8Kc]YouTube - Amira of Annapolis bellydance, All Seasons Hafla, November 2008[/ame]

Mona dances to this in the old baladi show footage (I've seen it distributed under different names) where she is wearing the black net dress with the masses of gold fringe on the skirt and belt. It isn't available publicly on youtube that I know of.

Never mind. Wrong video. Sorry!!!!

Here is Yasmina Ramzy of Toronto.

That's the costume and the show, but that isn't the right song.

I guess I should make a note, I have a couple different DVD/VCDs of this show and not all of them have the same footage on them. Not all copies have Mona dancing to Howa Sahih. Maybe I should upload the one I have...even the one I have isn't uncut. Darn video editors.

Same version by Lulu Sabongi.
She always blows me away.

wonderful, Thanks!

I love Lulus video. Super.

Lulu's is lovely, thank you.

It is interesting that 3 of the 4 we've found so far are using the same version of that song.

I hope I don't get into trouble for this, I've decided to share the Mona clip...possibly for a limited time only. I don't feel totally comfortable uploading other people's footage (even though I totally appreciate those who do upload rare footage so I can see it.) I'll let you know when it's posted.

My favorite OK song EVER!

That version belongs to Yasmina Ramzy and the Arabesque Orchestra. I can't remember which album.
It is such a strong rendition of the song.

Mona, for your viewing pleasure:

I remember I have one of Hadia dancing to this piece in my cabinet as well. Feel free to keep 'em comin' if you know of anymore.

I am speechless...she IS the music.
So understated in her movements yet felt.
I have to watch it again.

yeah, Mona is awesome.

Oh yes. I have this video of Mona as well. Nice to put a name to the song. Now I consider this to be the epitome of a dancer who has reached the state of tarab. That is the essence of belly dancing right there.

Katia of Cairo dances to this in the Bellydancers of Cairo DVD, very short piece though. It's in the montage piece in the performance bonus section. You've probably seen this already though.

Awwww, I so love Mona! I love that bouncy little Egyptian walk, her smile, and I LOVE her hair in this clip. Her hair-tossing action in this clip has made it into my interpretation of Houwa Sahihe as well. I only do it once though, my little nod to Mona!

Thanks for posting that clip, Shems! I have it in my DVD collection at home, but not with me on my travels - it was lovely to watch it again. <sigh>

Thanks for reminding me. It's been a while since I've pulled that dvd out.
