Raqs Sharqi Arts presents a rich and varied compilation of Egyptian dance and music recorded in theatre performances in the late 1980’s and early 90’s, including classical art songs, Baladi, Ghawazi and orchestral pieces composed especially for dance. With the accomplished musicians of The Layali El Sharq Ensemble, dancer and choreographer Suraya Hilal brought Raqs Sharqi to the Western stage in a seamless synergy of dance and music, revealing it as a contemporary art of power, subtlety and beauty and unfolding its expressive range and creative possibilities. This brief taster introduces LEGACY: THE ART OF RAQS SHARQI, nearly 3 hours of selected works produced during these intensely creative years when vision, talent and the opportunity of the time and place aligned to produce a unique expression of a living tradition. www.raqssharqiarts.com Rent on Vimeo On Demand https://vimeo.com/ondemand/legacythea...   / raqs-sharqi-arts-104290924751912
