HELP- What song is this?

[leenanyc]

Ok, so the first video is of the same choreo that Randa taught this summer in Dallas and the second is someone that did a little bit of Randa's choreo and then added her own steps. Does anyone know what the song is called or where I can find it.

You can see that she starts off doing the same steps as 03:02 of the last video and you can hear that its the same music

Any ideas?

I love this song! It's Al Toba by Abdel Halim Hafez. But please, if anybody knows what album this version is off of and where I can get it, fess up, I must have it! Randa is a dancer after my own heart.

You can find the original on the Abdel Halim Hafez, Gana Alhawa album:

I have a recording that is similar, but I can't tell if it's the same version. My music is in my car, I'll check it in a bit.

Randa has it on her cd which she sells when giving workshops. She gave me some extras when she was here. Send me PM if you want to get it through me - maybe somebody else has is closer to you.

Shems - I have the Randa cd with this version on it!!!

:)

[tamrahennatx]

Shems, I don't think I have this version. Get it from Randa's CD if you can!

[shems]

Thank you, you are all so helpful. Damiena since you are the closest to me, we'll talk. I might have to just get my self out to a Randa workshop soon.

There is a very similar version of Al Toubah on Adam Basma's "Hobi" album (also a nice drum solo on that album).

hmmm I think I may have to order from Finland. Oh dear

One of the best version I have of that song Ana Kull Magul el Toba is on Outi's CD Al-Amoura. It a *very* good sung version of 4:19.
Also, as Ssipes mentionned there's a good instrumental version on Adam Basma's Hobi.
And you can find a very rich instrumental version called El I Tobah on Tribute to Abdel Halim from Jamal Zarzour (4:26). It's a little bit slower but very loud and heavy on the beat with a lot of kanoon.

OMG! LMAO!! she's gotta have the most interesting costumes I've ever seen on a professional dancer!

[Cherry]

just watched the video...for once she's not in agony, but what's with her super-stiff-above-the-ribcage? and the super slouchy posture?

sorry, totally has nothing to do with the music. except maybe it's this music that made her more lively and less old-lady-crossing-the-street-drunk .

Dee Dee (Little Egypt Home Page) has the Randa CD with it on it. She's in Dallas.
