Let's do a deep dive into a classic song you'll find in Raqs Sharqi, "Alf Leyla wa Leyla" (One Thousand and One Nights). Originally composed by Baligh Hamdi, with lyrics by Morsi Gamil Aziz, and sung by Oum Kalthoum, the version we will be listening and dancing to is by the Cairo Orchestra.

In Part 1 of this series, you'll focus on the first 2 minutes of the piece, working through some musicality exercises to get you playing with different aspects of the music.

We'll be doing active listening exercises, learning the lyrics, and dancing to this classic piece of music.
