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

Everybody in the middle east plays "Ya Mustapha" (or simply Mustapha).  
Another good one is "Kol Halayla" which Ruby Chen had a hit recording of in 
Israel in 1985; it's based on an Arabic mega-hit.  Brandwein's Terk in 
America is based on a Turkish Song (discussed here) also known throughout the 
Middle East, as would be Miserlou (perhaps a bit too obvious) or the 
Hassapiko known in Yiddish as "Alz Far Gelt."
