Nisaa and Reda Henkesh - Manchester, UK - November 23, 2024

Reda Henkesh is recognized worldwide as a master of the Egyptian tabla. Hailing from Muhammad Ali Street, long recognized as the musical heart of Cairo, Reda carries on his family's famous and respected musical legacy. Reda has worked with some of the legends of Arabic music and dance, including singers Ahmad Adaweya, Muhammad al-Helou, and Wadi al-Safi, and dancers Nagwa Fouad, Mona al-Said, and Shoo Shoo Amin. Currently, Reda is the lead tabla player for international superstar Muhammad Mounir. Reda is a true musical treasure, embodying generations of traditional musical knowledge, and bringing a lifetime of musical experience to every performance. Nisaa (Heather D. Ward) is a Middle Eastern dance instructor, performer, and researcher based in St. Louis, Missouri, USA. Nisaa has been conducting pioneering research into the history and development of Egyptian belly dance. Her investigations into the transition from awalim and ghawazi dance styles to classical raqs sharqi at the turn of the 19th/20th centuries led to the publication of her first book, Egyptian Belly Dance in Transition: The Raqs Sharqi Revolution, 1890-1930, in 2018. Her most recent book, Raqs in the City: The Belly Dance Landscape of Cairo, explores the historical interconnection between dance, dancers, and the Cairo landscape and was released in 2024. Nisaa and Reda had just taught a weekend intensive on baladi, ghawazi, and awalim dance and music in Manchester UK - this performance was part of the weekend's activities. The event was sponsored and organized by Rachael Borek. For more information about Nisaa's classes and events, visit www.bellydancewithnisaa.com
