    Looking for books or videos on Ouled Nail

    Does anyone know of any videos or books that provide research on the Ouled Nail of Algeria? I loved to see them actually performing.

    Flute of Sand is a book about life with them, but it's out of print.

    Check out Amel Tafout's web site-she teaches dances of the Ouled Nail. You might find someone who has a copy of the CD that was made when the National Folkloric Ballet performed in the US (maybe 2003?) that included a Nail dance. Check the archives of Arabesque they had a few articles on it way back them. And Aisha Ali researched them in the '70's. Unfortunatley, they do not exist as a dancing entity anymore in Algeria (I just spend a night in the town of BouSaada last Feb, which was the heart of Nail tribal group)
