"Cleopatra" is often played to bolero, as is "Jemilleh".

Tue, August 5, 2008 - 12:30 PMtry some of the older ,usic from the 70's like George Abdo and Eddie Kochak. Bolero / rhumba were popular during that time period. -

Re: Rhythmology
Wed, August 6, 2008 - 3:00 AMI think those African-Spanish rhythms came from Cuba to the USA during the 50ies (later also Mambo and so) and were very fashionable for Hollywood movies as really erotical. I think it was the fashion of the time that's how it got to the Middle East. I would like to know something about the waltz. It's called "saraband" I heard. Where or when is it typically used? I know a beautiful routine called "Escape from Cairo" - BDSS Sonia dances to it on the Monte Carlo dvd. There is a waltz-section in it.
I'm surprised the teacher will start the rhythm classes not with the typical Arab rhythms but with the imported rhythms.
