Amazing tunes and beautiful dancing - that’s what Adiga music is. It is by far my favorite type of audio, alongside bellydance music.

I remember when I was just a child my mother and my aunt (her sister) would arrange for us to go watch live performances at Jeel club in Amman. Those were one of the best times of my life, I loved the theatrical nature of the stories of each dance and the music was divine.

The reason why I am writing this is that I have been listening to Qafa music over and over again for the past couple of hours and it’s magical the way this music gives me energy. It makes me want to do something, what, I do not know.

I love clapping to Adiga music, I love tapping my feet (because I cannot dance) as I sit mesmerized looking at the Pshinawa (occordion player), and I dissolve in it like nothing else. The exciting cries of Adiga men beside the Jagg (dancing area) drive my adrenaline levels up,up,up.

My heart is beating so fast. It has been some time since I’ve last been to a live performance or a fantazeyyeh. If you’re going to one, take me with you! I should be able to treat this subject with more detail and I might even try uploading a music sample but in the meantime you can check Zaid’s great blog on Circassians.

Back to my passion. Heart is beating so fast!
