Video Find of the Day
YouTube found this for me. They're powered by Google. Google reads souls. Since they recommended it, it must be safe for all the family. ATV stands for Aktif TV (Turkey).

Gamelan Revealed
Video Find of the Day
I fell in love with gamelan music when I was living out of my '69 Rambler in the 80s. I had a Radio Shack knockoff of a Walkman and a handful of discount cassette tapes for all my entertainment needs. One of them had gamelan music. I liked to try to imagine dances to it. I thought it might look something like this, which is from elibris, who has many beautiful videos of performances like this one.
I had much more trouble imagining the musicians playing the instruments. The liner notes said hammers were used. But what did the things hammered look like? Now with this next video, my find of the day, I can see. I especially enjoyed seeing the part where it looks like a guy is playing ashtrays. Look for that starting at 1 minute 59 seconds into the video.

Belly Dancing at Folklife
I got two pieces by Gypsy Caravan Dance Company (music by Mizna). Unfortunately the sound is worse than usual for the second. Not my fault! Stupid speakers.
The program had "Rags Serpentine -- Modern Dance Meets Bellydance" for the next one.
Nashita does Tribal Fusion Bellydance:
This next is the Shahrazad Middle Eastern Dance Ensemble.
The show ended with performances by Zaphara's Middle Eastern Dancers, Egyptian Cabaret Bellydancing. Here's one I got before my cheap camera told me it was full.
