A nice performance by Lebanese dancer Leesa. The yellow costume looks amazing on her. She continues the veil work till about half way through the performance which is very impressive.
A nice performance by Nadeen Abu Abdullah. She is wearing an Egyptian style belly dance costume. The Egyptian style costumes are different from other costumes in that they look more like glitsy evening gowns rather than the traditional two piece costumes. In fact, in Egypt, due to this style of costume, it is not common to see the abdominal area of a belly dancer exposed.
Lebanese belly dancer Dina Jamal.
The song in this performance is called "Kamel al Awsaf" originally sung by legendary Egyptian singer Abdul Halim Hafez although here it is sung by someone else. It is one of my most favourite songs. "Kamel al Awsaf" can roughly be translated as "the one who has perfect qualities". In other words, the perfect woman.
This is a really nice song by Lebanese singer Diana Haddad and Algerian singer Cheb Khaled. Both are maestros on their own and together they compliment each other's singing so well. The video of this song is simple but very nice.
I love this song by Diana Haddad. It is from her earlier albums. The video might not seem too impressive, but the reason for that is that this video was made in the early 1990's when music videos were still a relatively new phenomenon in the Arab world.
A very upbeat song by Lebanese singer Nawal El Zoughbi. The song is a nice fusion of Arabic pop music and Latin salsa music. The video of this song was made in Brazil.
Lebanese belly dancer Howaida Hachem gives a very nice drum solo performance. The lighting in this clip is a bit low but it is definitely worth watching. The live orchestra accompanying Howaida makes a wonderful performance.
