Inside the Music - Wahashtini

  • Amina's Studio 829 Elizabeth Street San Francisco, CA, 94114 United States (map)

We will work on all aspects of the song Wahashtini - from maqams, lyrics, rhythm, phrasing, sentiment, dancing and performing.  We will play Soad Mohamed's version for reference but will work with Nur Mhana's version. It is always best to have a working knowledge of the original singer asthe sourceand be able to know and discuss the differences. This should prove to be a fun song to work with. Hope you can make it.

Thank you
Nazir, Susu and Amina

Please feel free to check the Archives link in the menu. This link takes you to my old website that in 2015 froze and stopped letting me fix or update. There is a lot of great information there. There was too much information to transfer, so after transferring a few relevant pages I decided to just leave the rest there for you to explore like an archaeological dig.
