Lebanese Coffee House Dance
In this class we explore dance set to the music of Rahbani brothers, the sons of Fairuz, the diva of Lebanese song, composed and recorded this music in the 1970’s. The music evokes the atmosphere of a bygone era at the beginning of the 20th century when deep cultural change and modernization was beginning, in which new styles of European dress, music and entertainment replaced the old Ottoman tastes and sensibilities.
