Premiered at the Studio Theatre, Toronto, 1996.
Excerpt from Arabesque's performance "Neda'a El Nil", this clip offers a small sampling of some of the traditional Middle Eastern dance styles performed by Arabesque Dance Company, choreographed by Yasmina Ramzy.
All of the company's performances are accompanied by its own orchestra which includes the beautiful vocals of Najwa Tannus and Prof. Bassam Bishara as well as traditional instruments such as oude, qanoon, naye, mizmar, violin, semsemeya, dumbek, riqq, qatim, dhaholla and daff.
One of the greatest joys in my life is seeing this group perform live. can't wait to get back to Toronto! Can't wait!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
