Arabian Musicians

Our Arabian persussionists are master players of the tabla or darbuka and are very experienced in playing for Belly Dancers at high profile events. Usually percussionists will drum along with the belly dancers CD and then peform a drum solo finale. They can also play as guests arrive or eat dinner.

The addition of an Arabian Percussionist adds to the drama and authenticity of your occasion and really gets everyone's foot tapping.

Email us to book quoting the location, date and estimated start time of performance if you would like to add an Arabian percussionist to your booking. Please specify the location, date and estimated start time of performance.
