Re: March 26th Middle Eastern Festival in Chicago: Your Ideas

[Helen Winkler <winklerh...>]

I don't know how you would obtain the sheet music for this, but many Israeli 
folk dances choreographed by Moshiko Halevy use Arabic music. There are lots 
of recordings of his around--maybe check with your local Israeli dance club. 
   The dance we do from his collection called Ya Abud uses Arabic music; 
another I see in this syllabus is called Mishal.

Here's a question:

There are both Arabic and Jewish groups playing at this fest.  I am looking
for suggestions as to musical pieces or songs that all participants could
play together, jam on, etc.  The first thing that comes to my mind is
Yemenite or Morrocan pieces that both cultures share.  Any other thoughts?
