The song I decided to share is Saidi Upper Egypt Rhythm. I picked this song because it is instrumental-driven and highlighted for belly dancers, which I think is another neat part of Egyptian culture. Saidi music typically features the tabl baladi, darbuka, and daff on percussion and the very distinct mizmar and rebaba on melody. It is a 4/4 Rhythm and features both high and low sounds which is commonly used across Egyptian music. The Rhythm is what makes a perfect beat for the dancers since it is known for being steady.
