Soheyr Zaki club performance video?

Some years ago I was given a video of Soheyr dancing in a nightclub. She begins the show in gold and green/black
bedleh, and has a couple of costume changes, one into a nice shiny snug beledi dress with a black and gold striped belt - the stripes go
on the diagonal. She does cane in this, a nice drum solo, and finishes the show with Saudi style.

I thought this was filmed in Cairo but recently heard it was actually in L.A. or somewhere in California, if not L.A.

I'd like to learn anything anyone can share about this video.

  • Another Soheir video performance

    I have an old old clip of Soheir and would love to find the original video. Hope you don't mind me piggy-backing here, Weisha!

    The clip I have is at what looks like a big private party, with orchestra. Soheir is dressed in a lovely red assuit/tulle bitelli beledi dress trimmed with the largest paillettes I've ever seen. She's dancing to "Nebtedi." Anyone know this clip?? I *love* it, but this tape is about 27th generation. Would love to find an original.

      Yes I know that clip. My copy is super old as well and a copy of a copy and the quality is starting to go. I just have it labeled Suheir Zaki. I don't know what the original was called or if it's still available.
