Leila's "Helwa" CD. See post for ordering info. |
In searching for the musical source of our current choreography to "Saidi Cocktail," I've found the album
Helwa, produced by Leila of Cairo. Unfortunately, the track isn't on Itunes, so I can't promise it is the exact recording. But....Leila has written several interesting articles on Gilded Serpent about dancing in Cairo that are very worth reading as one dancer's experience. See "
Facing Truth: Working as a Dancer in Egypt." To order the CD, see her
website or
http://www.leilaincairo.com and find the listed vendors including:
http://www.dahlal.com or
http://www.audrena.com. Also....there is a fun video of a different live version on YouTube. This video was filmed at the Semiramis Nightclub on the Nile in Cairo and includes a talented cane dancer at the beginning of the show:
