“Tak-a-tak, Tak-a-tak, Tak-a-Tak-Tak-Tak”
As a dancer, it’s important to have some knowledge of the music that you are trying to interpret through your movement.
The melody, rhythm and lyrics all have a deep emotional connection and bringing this to life within your dance is likely to be a reflection of your emotional attachment to the music and life in general.
Finger cymbals are an integral part of understanding the rhythm of Arabic and North African music.
The pitch and tone of finger cymbals all depends on the size. Small cymbals are high pitched and the sound will travel a short distance, while large ones have a deeper ring to them and the sound will travel much further.
So how do we use them?
What about playing alongside a dumbek?
