'TARABIYA' showcased the music & songs of Egypt's legendary singer, Oum Kuthoum and was a music and dance show conceived by Amina Goodyear and produced by her in collaboration with Dannhae and the Mission Cultural Center for Latino Arts, San Francisco. The musicians played many traditional and beloved pieces and the dancers each chose a separate Om Kalthoum song to translate with their bodies and their souls.

Om Kalthoum and Egypt: a wonderful way of interpreting the songs we love through Dance.
This is an actual trailer with the images of my sold-out show Tarabiya. This is one of many videos soon to appear. Tarabiya is a flood of wonderful ideas that will prevail over any and all obstacles.
It is pure love of music and love of life.
