...it must be with the names: I am not really used to that dancers do not use their real names so I thought Sibel Nefa is her real name and that name sounds to me quite typical Turkish

Anyway i really do not wonder the fact that there are more Egyptian style dancers but I wonder why most of the dancers of Turkish origin do not have almost any influences of their own culture left in their dancing... and e.g. Fatima´s dancing does not look to me Egyptian either... it looks hmmm how to say it...*German*

But I do not agree that arabic music were more complex or interesting than Turkish: in Turkish music you can have rhythms and instruments that are unique and really complex and really hard to interpret correctly... but I agree that it is matter of tastes: I love Arabic classical and folk music as well as Turkish arabesk and folk music but I hate Arabic pop music and Turkish pop music if for me only for listening and I hate to watch dancing with Tarkan etc
