Alla Kushnir : Rakasni Aiwa , Filmed in Kiev , Ukraine
Track 3 : Amoor ( Cute ): Vocals : Tarek Abdel Halimk , Lyrics : Samir Zaghloul
The rhythm alternates between Maksoum with Saidi rhythm . In the middle of the song is a Maksoum rhythm solo tabla . This song describes a cute girl the singer sings about her cute smile . She is like a solo violin ; she is sweet as sugar . The singer sings , “ I have a hard time describing her beauty .”
The melody is beautiful and dancers must understand the lyrics for their movements . This is a fun piece and “ call and answer ” lyrics between the singer and the chorus e . g . slides to the side or front and back , with hip movements that match the “ conversation ” between the singer and the chorus . Music accented by mizmar and percussion . Have fun dancing with the mizmar sections with quick shimmies and undulations .
Track 4 : Siomara : Vocals : Hamada El Masri , Lyrics : Nesrine Farouk . The rhythm sequence is the same as in the song Rakasni Aiwa with Maksoum and Ayoubi . The lyrics are dedicated to the great dancer from Buenos Aires , Argentina “ Siomara ”. Due to Siomara ’ s teaching , belly dancers with a Latin background dance with good feeling for Middle Eastern music . Siomara averages
80 students in her classes and has greatly influenced Argentinian belly dancers .
Masmoudi Kabir introduction moves into Masmoudi Saghir with accordion and cycles to Ayoubi with vocal . Percussion accents for a brief drum solo with Ayoubi . Next , Maksum with mizmar and mizwig qafla into vocal . Back to the vocals with the chorus and into the Masmoudi Saghir with the accordion – then the Layali taxim by the singer . This song contains many changes in rhythmic patterns , leitmotifs , and opportunities for hitting poses , accenting your movements , and flowing with the musicality .
Track 5 : Habibi Aho ( Here is my Love ): Vocals : Hany El Abd , Lyrics : Hamada el Masri . Hany sings to the people around him very happy and proud to introduce his love ( Habibi ) in this song . The rhythm is Maksoum for the whole song but the instrumentation is playful with strings and horns .
This is a fun song that should be danced with “ Dalaa = cuteness ”. A good song for dancing a cute Melaya Lef show . Maksoum rhythm with accordion for a taxim section . The dancers must go with the flow of the song and follow the melody and the meanings of the lyrics . Be sure to “ act
