Oum Kalthoum. Rak Al Habib. ام كلتوم .رق الحبيب



OMG: tears flowed from my eyes as I found the Om Kolthoum theme I danced at the Closing Gala of "Ahlan wa Sahlan" Festival, Cairo.

This is a rare song by the Eternal Star* of the Orient that my musicians suggested. By telling me it was a rare, hard and "not for dance" song they knew they would make me fall in love with it and so it happened.
When my men started to play this song I immediatly fell in love with it and announced: I HAVE to DANCE this song.  A challenge to dance, interpret, feel and transcend but what a JOY.
Wish I´d found the video of this performance ( me, performing "Raq al habibi" at Ahlan Wa Sahlan Festival).
