Shahraman Of LebanonThe beautiful and talented Shahraman dances in the classic Lebanese style!
Her presence is elegant with a feisty edge that is accented by her gorgeous costumes, many that she designs herself!
Recently, I had a conversation with Shahraman and asked her some questions about her dancing career.
Here is a snippet of our conversation!
”While I Dance I cannot Judge,
I cannot Hate
I cannot Seperate Myself from Life.
I can Only Be Joyful and Whole.
That is WHY I Dance”.
Hans Bos
There is that ‘throbing’ place in each and every one of us, that contains all of the beauty we can imagine. It is there.. ALWAYS… if we allow it. It is the Heart set Free!
This beautiful dance we share is a “Fiery Chariot” that allows us to let loose of that ‘little self’ and soar passionately into the Beautiful Being that we Are!
To me, Valentines Day is a day of Beauty… as Love and Beauty are One.
What Beauty we have in the World of Oriental Dance!
So… to all of the Sweet Hearts… A song I LOVE!!! “Ya Tayeb Al Qalb’ ( Your Sweet Heart)………
Originally sung by Abdul Majeed Abdullah from Saudi Arabia.
The lyrics of the chorus are as follows..(A loose translation)…
“Oh, One with the sweet heart…
Where are you?
It is wrong to leave your lover.
I miss you….Oh, My Life.
Maybe your tenderness will bring you back.
Oh, My eyes long for your eyes.
Oh, the One with the sweet heart…
Where are you?”
Here is ‘Our beloved Egyptian Dancer FiFi Abdo’ on Lebanese TV..dancing to a Saudi song…in a cocktail dress! You Gotta love it!!!
And here is the music video of Abdul Majeed Abdullah singing ‘Ya Tayeb Al Qalb’..
