Said,Fatma Kaleidoscope CD

Kaleidoscope - Fatma Said - Warner Classics - "Throughout my life, since I was very young, dancing has accompanied me everywhere, and I've learned a number of different styles: ballroom, Latin, Argentinian tango and more. I've always felt inspired by the physical and internal movement in dancing - whether with a partner or alone - and for me it represents another way of expressing myself. While researching potential repertoire for this album I found myself drawn to songs from a number of very different countries and peoples, all with strong dance elements - sometimes in the words, but invariably in the music. And movement here has a double meaning for me: these songs move me emotionally, and they contain the steps and rhythms of dance - many greatly varied kinds of dance - in their expressions of feeling and character. To me those two meanings interlink as one: they are the emotional and physical in unison - a single entity. It's hard to imagine music without dance, or dance without music..." ??
