Nadia Gamal

Unfortunately this tape is almost totally black and white as its probably a 10th generation copy....still that's not a problem for dancers as Nadia's movements are clear and the soundtrack is stable. Setrak Sarkissian is the drummer in the striped jacket.

Nadia Gamal: assaya

This is part of a well known video of Nadia Gamal, you'll be able to lots of other clips from the same vid on Youtube. Depending on who tells the story, Nadia was born in 1935, or maybe another year, in Alexandia or Beirut to parents who were either Lebanese, Greek and/or Italian. Whatever the story, she was a wonderful dancer. Sadly she died in 1992.
