An Unprecedented Fusion of Live Arabic Music and Dance

Prepare for an extraordinary journey into the heart of the Middle East. Middle Eastern Music and Belly Dance Night (Live Music) is not just a dance performance; it is a groundbreaking musical event. For the first time in Hong Kong, a live ensemble—eschewing traditional backing tracks—will perform authentic Arabic classics and exhilarating drum solos, perfectly synchronized with world-class professional belly dancers.

The Musical Foundation

Led by visionary organizer Dickson Cheung, a renowned expert and founder of the Darbuka Dreamers, this concert features an impressive lineup of local and international musicians. The soundscape is rich and atmospheric, driven by the unique textures of traditional instruments such as the Kanun (played by 羅灝恩), Oud (played by Coşkun Güçlü), and an ensemble of Darbuka percussionists including Flores, Ryo Serikawa, and 翟悅敏.

• Grand Opening: Powerful, sweeping opening compositions to set the tone.
• Classic Elegance: Intricate and evocative classical Arabic melodies.
• Rhythmic Soul: Authentic Baladi and high-energy Shabbi tracks that invite celebration.
• Drum Solo: The highly anticipated, heart-racing improvisation segments where dancers and percussionists engage in a fiery dialogue.

Meet the Artists

This production unites a star-studded cast, including dancers Basali Bobo, Carmanie, Leila, Gaga, and 黃蔚澄. Their movements are precision-engineered to match the live percussion, creating a seamless, captivating visual dialogue.
