Isn't it a FABulous change from so many dancers that want to put everything in that they know, at top speed and on every inch of the stage? Not so different from Soheyr, in that way...
I always say that Mona Saeed is a "minimalist" dancer. She has a way of building suspense and then WHAMO! so sensual and dynamic. A very good lesson in "less is more"
Yes, as confirmed by Morocco of NY who knows more thatn I could ever. I know his music as though I were born with it and I know his style. If you look at his photo and look at the bongo player there is NO doubt.
The other Mona clip that bellybunny (shukran for this!) has posted is a piece of the other performance I mentioned - actually, it's all of that performance (including a saudi segment) EXCEPT for the part to Kariat el Fingan!
This is one of two performances by Mona El Saaid (several variations for spelling) on a TV variety show produced by Fifi Abdou in the early 1980s. The other performance is to Kariat el Fingan (the fortune teller); it was my first introduction to Mona and was (and still is, in some ways) the most mind blowing and wonderful work I had ever seen.
Mona Said is an amazing woman! I took a class from her in Cairo and she has such a strong presence, she is amazing. Even when she is just standing there she demurely demands attention! I'm so glad to find her on youtube.
Gorgeous!
Thank you very much!

If you look closley you will see Reda Darwish playing Bongos in the back ground. One of my fave videos.

I think one of the 5enkesh brothers was her bongo player. Bongo means 7ashish in Egyptian, but either way, are you sure it's Reda Darwish?

This particular show is also a VERY conservative production. All of the dancers (including Fifi) were dressed to the throat.
