Thread: Suheir Zaki-Neptidi

[ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_3OrAcMg9E8]YouTube - Suheir Zaki, Nebtidi M'neim El Hikkaya[/ame]

I just Uploaded this video to youtube.

Thanks for this Norma and thanks for posting the whole Princess of Cairo. You have a great library!

Which video does this appear on?

Its the one that is live from Abu Dabai with Suhair and Nagua (both of their names are spelled strangely in the video title.) Nagua dances to Mashaal on the same vid.

I have it on VHS; I don't know if it was ever put on DVDs.

The video I have is only of Suheir Zaki. Some one made a copy of it for me so I have no info. I'm posting Ya Amarti next.

It's probably from the Sawt wa soura library, judging from the caption. Too bad the quality is so glitchy. It's lovely dancing, but every time she'd really get going, the video would hiccup.

Mmm. I just went farther into the tape. It also has a young Fifi in that blue costume with her hair pulled back. I forgot I had that!

One of my favorites from Suhair

oh my.. can you give info on where to purchase the dvd!! pleeeeaaase!

this has got to be my favorite of hers so far!

I went looking for Part 2 of the green bedlah clip from the other thread and found this (looks like the same one as Norma's) [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xJiVRkPaur4]YouTube - Soheir Zaki in Abu Dhabi Pt 1[/ame] and this [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vmI7MIvfJb8]YouTube - Soheir Zaki in Abu Dhabi Pt 2[/ame]
There's also a Part 2 for the green one--all on Bhuzzer Aziza_UAE's channel. You could ask her if they are for sale.

This performance and the green bedlah one are a master class in "Less Is More." Every time I watch Souheir , I am amazed by how much she does with so little. She only uses a handful of moves, and yet the song is completely filled and her dancing is mesmerizing to watch. It's so easy as a student to get caught up in thinking that every time you step on stage you need to use 35 different moves and at least one combination from every workshop you ever took, and, my goodness, you don't!

thank you so!!

It's not the same clip although it's very similar. In the clip I posted she had a yellow or gold veil. In the clip Tourbeau posted the veil is red. But she often did the same show and wore similar costumes.

Can you post the link to the part 2 of the green costume to that thread? I've tried to find the channel on youtube but no luck so far using key words. It would help immensely if you posted a link. I'm spinnig my wheels going through pages of SZ postings.

Thanks for posting this, Suhair is probably my favorite dancer of that era! I just love her hip work!!!

I didn't even think about the veils--good catch. I guess I was assuming that one of the tapes might have been a compilation and not a continuous performance. It is odd that she's dancing to the same song, in the same costume, in front of the same backdrop, though. When I have some time, I'll have to look at them side-by-side. I only went a little into the intro of the non-veil part the last time, and the choreography looked pretty similar. Does your tape have the same Part 2 in red, or is it different?

Sorry about that. Aziza_UAE's channel is here YouTube - TheCaroVan's Channel. If you had clicked one of the videos into YouTube and clicked on her username there, it would have taken you to her channel, and the green bedlah performance is down in the expansion of her uploads. Aziza has a fantastic collection. I'll put the clip in the other thread to keep the performance together.

I can't get over her hands. I mean, a lot of other stuff too *g*, but man those hands...
