The dancer in this tableau is of course Egyptian legend Nagwa Fouad and the singer is Saudi vocalist Mohamed Abdo who’s so youthful and without his trademark moustache that I didn’t recognise him at first :-) This scene’s from the 1977 Egyptian film ’The Magic Lamp’ (also known as ’Mirrors’). I guess we’ll have to call this piece ’fusion’ as it has khaleeji music, a singer wearing a dishdash, dancers doing a ’sort of’ debke and its in a bedouin setting (with a live camel) but the costumes are a mix of Saidi and hagallah.
