    Song suggestions please?

    Hi ladies,

    I am looking for a song to use for a group piece (the opening for our showcase this year), and we will be danicing with shamadan (me) and hand candles (my dancers). In the past, we've favored the big BDSS-type entrance songs (Pharonic Odyssey, Raks Africa, Ice Queen); we tend to go for the big power "wow factor" entrances.

    I'm having a hard time coming up with a song idea for this year because I feel like it needs to be a little slower to accomdate for the fire, while still being as powerful. I thought I would ask here for suggestions?

    Any ideas?

    For context, here is a snippet of one of our openings:

    Here's another:

    Our more recent ones are on FB but my students have it set to only friends so I don't think you'll be able to see it unless you are friends with me!

    What about Raks Shamadan? Oriental Fantasy Vol. 10




    Although when I think of Shamadan I usually think of wedding's and zefee. How about doing a wedding tableau?

    Darigh Nur from Mario Kirlis



    Zeffee rhythm



    Or something more folkloric:



    What is your vision of the piece?

    I am also looking for song suggestions but I got distracted when I saw the beautiful Darigh Nur from Mario Kirlis. Can someone tell me where those incredible feather skirts came from???
