Beirut duty free/redo - We're not so different

I got inspired to slap together this video, after seeing a flash mob video in the Beirut airport. I'd quickly decided to change the audio track to traditional Irish music and point out how we're all not that different when we choose to be happy. I've done no alterations to either pieces in order that they fit, they simply did. It was instantaneous to find the music to go w/ this. It's not science but telling enough in how quickly you can pair any music in the World w/ dancing from another part and still be entertained, to still be able to express your joy or tell a story.
Let's hope the point is this clear to everyone.
My ancestry is Irish and Lebanese, (and of course further back we all come from somewhere in Africa)...so it was a logical enough choice to pair these two together for me.
I hope others will make similar videos like this too. To spread the Love as it were.
Here are the two video's I used in this

Take care,

Brilliantly done. Joy is the deep secret of the world. From Julianne, Tennessee, Southern Appalachia, USA --- German, Cherokee and smiling.

@jlw50900 Awesome Julianne! Keep on sharing the Love!

Fantastic. Loved the original and I agree goes well with Irish music. We actually were thinking of cutting in some riverdance to the original for St Patricks day.

[CaptBart]

@ciaranmacdara There ya go! You could use ANY folk music w/ this, as the video's been cut to work in time w/ the music.
