Shahrzad Tribute to Golden Era Belly Dance

Shahrzad performs a tribute dance to the golden era of Egyptian art. The golden era lasted (roughly) from the early 1900’s to early 1970’s and was a time when Egyptian arts and cinema flourished. During this time we saw some of the biggest names in Middle Eastern music and dance emerge and make their legacies. The song is a classic by Mohamed Fawzi called Fatafit il Sukar. This song appeared in many golden era dance scenes. This version is a live interpretation played by Shahrzad’s musical ensemble ’Soot il Sharq’. Designed by Shahrzad and made by Loyal Ahmed, the costume is inspired by the lines and shapes of classic belly dance costuming made with modern elements such as crystals and lycra. This video was filmed at Yasmina’s belly dance B&B in Cairo where you can stay, dance, and have beautiful photos and video done! This performance was originally created as part of the Kan Zaman online festival. https:
