Baladi

This is the one workshop you have all been waiting for. A special day filled with the true art of being one with the music. Improvised Baladi is a genre of music that not like a repeated songs that you know or would hear again, but after this workshop, you will recognise this style of composition when you hear it again.
In this workshop, Hossam & Serena together with the Hossam Ramzy Ensemble will share a day of BALADI Music, Rhythm and Dancing with you. You will learn how the Baladi developed along the past couple of hundred years and you will also learn how to improvise instantaneously to the music performed by some of the best Egyptian musicians living today.
Dancing a Baladi will become part of daily life.

1. Learn the separate parts of a Baladi Progression and how to dance to such improvisations with a live ensemble.

2. Learn about the language between dancer and musicians. And who follows whom, in an improvised situation?

3. Have the answer to the Question: How can I become one with a piece of music that I never heard before?

4. Learn how to interpret the different styles of Taqsim from the various instruments in a Baladi Ensemble.

5. Learn about the role of the rhythmic and the percussive interpretations within the Baladi Music?

6. Learn about the emotional interpretation of a Baladi piece of music.

7. Find out what is the role of a Drum Solo in the Baladi Progression?

8. You will experience the magic of creating the movement at the same moment the soloing musician is creating the sound. This has to be felt to be believed.
