Hi everyone
,
I need your help on something. In a week I'll be dancing to Faddah by Hossam Ramzy in the showcase of a dance project I've been in for a number of weeks. There's different dance styles (modern, ballet, jazz, and we have a guy that is going to add his juggling skills to his dance which will be really cool). I'll be the only Oriental dancer there.
My dancing to Faddah has given me some questions regarding this piece of music I'd like to have cleared up. This might sound weird, but I would like to know this:
1. Was Faddah originally composed by Hossam Ramzy or is there an older version that actually had lyrics? If there is, what were they about and who composed/performed it?
2. From the song title I'd think Faddah means 'silver'. Is that correct?
3. The music has some folklore'y pieces in it, one part consisting of Samahi rhythm, the second part (right after Samahi part) has a more Saiidi feel to me. Am I right on this??
I hope anyone can help. It's a beautiful piece but I'd like to know these things before I dance. As the only bellydancer in the project I want to do justice to the dance and the music.
Thanks!!
p.s. Any additional information on this song is very welcome.
