Halaw, Marcello!

I enjoyed this video. It actually reminded me a bit of the Iraqi Maqam that I had the pleasure of seeing live last year in Ann Arbor. One of the last remaining and most famous Maqam singers in Iraq came to Michigan with his ensemble. This link isn't the show from Michigan, but it is of high quality: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cQBoN-UUb_8

Enjoy,
Jeff

There were Jewish folks from the Yemen, Iraq, Morocco, Tunisia, Algeria, Iran, etc., dancing Arabic dances and celebrating their wonderful, colorful cultural backgrounds from the days of the Ottomans. They also referred to me as their "Ashurian brother" as we agreed that the days of the Ottoman's were "the good old days" until the War broke out and each ethnic group got "uppity" and fooled by the Euros regarding their nationalism: Zionists, Arabists, Assyrian, Qurdish, Greek, Armenian... which benefited no one, not even the Israelis, as one Jewish woman asserted.
