Description
Description: an on-screen performer plays a tremolo on the oud when the barker introduces a belly dancer (the organ music continues); at 2:18 we start to hear slow drumming join in with the oud player; they TRY to show where the drumming is coming from (with a man drumming in the background), but he starts playing about 4 seconds too late (the organ music continues); at 2:48 a man plays a very loud double-reed instrument (like a shawm) on-screen, along with the drummer; we also hear (and see) the tambourine being played; (the organ music continues)
