Outi is another of my "International Perfectionists"; a Finnish dancer who has worked in Cairo's top venues since 1995. Her CD reflects her energy and playfulness as a performer and her love for Egyptian music. Al Amoura opens with a new Oriental piece, composed by Reda Saad especially for her. It continues with the Oum Kulthoum classic 'Ya Msaharni' and moves onto a delightful mix of songs, easily matched together for performance. There is music from Abdel Halim Hafiz and Shadia to a flirtatious Alexandrian piece, wrapping up with a challenging tabla solo, just the way Outi likes it. The CD is recorded in Cairo with vocalist and band leader, Safa Farid, and the recording maintains its Egyptian atmosphere all the way through. The linear note gives short explanations of each song for the dancer who wants to capture that right expression.
