Film footage from 1950's (Egypt) of Tahia Carioca dancing with Samial Gamal. Naïma Akif from "Tamer henna" film (1957).I like to dance...everywhere. In a Costarican jungle, in my bathroom, in my Egyptian classical cabaret classes, in buses, on my roof... I dance for me, my cats and for the universe. Nothing is static, everything moves and evolves. Movement of the Mother Earth, movement of the dancing stars... Also, I'm a big fan of Ilhan Kabaraçak, the most sexy male Baladi in the world.
Fan of the O'Connor clan : Neil, Hazel and Charlie. I enjoy indie, ambient, pop,rock, world electronic like Oojmami,The The, Linkin Park, David Bowie, Dead can Dance, Lou Reed, Velvet Undergroud, Madonna, Tricky, Portishead and so much more... Alain Bashung, Brigitte Fontaine, Bérurier Noir, Valéry Saint-Germain, Robin Gorn, Ramasutra, Dumas, Pierre Lapointe, Nico Lelièvre...Great artists such as the Iranian Sussan Deyhim, Oojami, Björk, Yma Sumac.Actually I like all kind of music: classical, reggae, World Music, Kechak, Inuit throat singing... I'm fascinated with exotic musical instruments such as the Indonesian gamelan and the Middle Eastern kanoun and the nay.

Well, recently I read the best book ever : "Melmoth". Written in 1820 by Charles Robert Maturin,an eccentric dandy Irish priest, his novel was censor for one century... Beautifully written, "Melmoth" kick ass the church and it's Inquisition... A must!Cool writers too : Anne Rice, Amélie Nothomb, Stephen King, Philippe Djan, Normand Lester... et bien d'autres encore.
My cartoon hero : "Soeur Marie-Thérèse des Batignoles" (publié chez Fluide Glacial). A punky French nun wearing Doc Martens and a "No Future" badge on her huge breasts, riding motorcycle, smoking fatty joints and drinking any alcool she could find...Alleluia!
