See Morocco Live on DVD!
|
In June 2007 we celebrated the 8th annual WAMED, in Perth Western Australia and had a wonderful time with special guests Morocco and Nasser Selimi.
The theme for the festival was 'Drum' Eastern Pulse which explored the various cultural and rhythmic styles from the Middle East, along with many dance workshops featuring LIVE tabla and a series of Middle Eastern percussion workshops. Our special international guests Morocco and Nasser Selimi who are both experts in their field, have devoted their lives to teaching the cultural genres of Middle Eastern dance arts and music. We were also joined other great guest teachers and talented local teachers and performers.
