ARAB DRUM WORKSHOPS "SAIDI, SAUDI, SUDASI" (SSS): Sunday
1pm - 3pm, $25 at door only.
Students may bring their Arabic Tabla, Dumbek, Darabuka, Riqq, Duff, Muzhar or Frame drum. Karim will teach these three dynamic rhythms, emphasizing the Arab technique of double off-hand taks and running method. Students will learn how these rhythms propel specific dance styles from around the Arab world. Karim engages all levels from advanced beginner (someone with basic skills) to advanced intermediate.
Every level will be adequately challenged and will benefit from the ensemble approach.
---SAIDI (Southern Egyptian) is used for cane dance, ghawazee, pop and folk music. Karim will teach a four part Saidi with emphasis on the empty first beat, and slow yet bubbling tempo.
---SAUDI (Arabian Peninsula) is used for "Khaliji" urban and popular folk music. Karim will teach the polyrhythmic multipart version that illustrates the Afro-Indo influence.
---SUDASI (Lebanese and Palestinian) is used for Dabka unisex line dance. Karim will teach this unique yet common 6/4 rhythm with variations to accent stomp choreographies.
RIQQ (ARAB TAMBOURINE): : Sunday 3:30pm - 5:30pm, $25 at door only.
The "Riqq" tambourine is the lead percussion instrument in the Arabic orchestra and classical ensemble. It is played with the fingers on
both the skin and the cymbals. The technique calls for three different holding positions and techniques. In addition to Arabic music, these
instruments are widely used in Turkish, Iranian, Balkan, Gypsy and Mediterranean music. Students will learn technique, stamina, rhythmic
repertoire and various ethnic styles.
Karim Nagi is recognized as one of the foremost performers of the Arabic style Riqq in the USA. He has performed Riqq with the Sharq Ensemble, Chicago Oriental Ensemble, Boston Camerata, and Simon Shaheen. He has taught Riqq at the New England Conservatory, Tufts University, and Arabic Music Retreat and the Heartland Seminar on Arab Music. He has authored a comprehensive Instructional Riqq
