AAF Quote of the Day:
"I am puzzled by the sudden interest in so-called "sha'abi" dance, some people make it sound like the Arabic term was derived from rocket science. Is it really that difficult to comprehend?
There is nothing more uncomfortable than watching what appears to be a gross caricature of lower class Egyptians...
emulated by outsiders who not only come from a different social environment but a different culture as well, particularly one that looks down on Egyptians as "Third World"
I suppose it never occurred to some that there could be more to the lives of "sha'abi" people than a pair of washed jeans or a cheap Lycra dress!"
