Choreography by Hilde
Important notice:
This is NOT an authentic Algerian choreography. The music is Rai from Waharan, in the Western part of Algeria. In addition to rai moves, there are also moves from Kabylia (Berber/Zwawi), and chaoui moves from the Eastern parts of the contry. In addition, there are a few Egpytian moves, and some inspiration from Morocco and Libya.
Hilde is not fond of fusion in general, she believes in keeping the traditions. This choreography is an exception from the rest of her work. The reason she chose to make this fusion of styles, is the music itself. It is a fusion of traditional rai, and modern sounds.
The costume is NOT an authentic Algerian outfit, it was created in Algeria by Hilde and the seamstress, loosely based on traditional Algerian dress.
