A video I found from when I was pregnant with Kai, about six months along, in May or June 09. At any rate, a long time ago. The music is a compilation of different baladi tracks and this was my first "baladi" performance, having just started to work at that time with Ranya Renee's amazing baladi DVD.
Hey Nepenthe, sorry I had to cut out early last night as I really wanted to be part of the discussion re your video! I very much enjoyed this whole piece, love your relaxed taksim and focus, especially as you shifted away from your entrance piece into something more internal. Really like your relaxed bounce that starts the maksum and overall your energy throughout the piece!
