Dancers enjoy working with him and makes each dancers experience entertaining, exciting and memorable with the emphasis on FUN!  He is Armenian, second generation American Armenian from Turkey, and is fluent in Armenian, and some Turkish and is a very talented musician and lots of fun to work with! (Plus the best part for me is that he's my husband :-)

 Rico Orrell: Plays the Oud and sings in several languages as well, (he also plays the doumbek) and is extremely knowledgeable in many different style of Middle Eastern music, and is an accomplished guitar player. He has also played for some of the finest dancers in the field of Cabaret dancing.
He has a special place in my heart and dance career as he was the first musician I worked with when I relocated to Southern Calif. from the Central Valley of Calif.
Maurice Saba: Plays violin, also very talented and versatile, and is from the Middle East, and is fluent in Arabic. He also plays the Oud, and can play Arabic style as well as Turkish style.

Together they play for the joy that music brings to the audience and dancers as well as the friendships we have all made in the Middle Eastern music and Belly dance community!

The music, and these musicians are talented and diverse, they play a variety of music, songs and styles, including; Armenian, Turkish, Arabic, (classic style for Egyptian style dancing), as well as a few Greek and Persian songs that could be included in a Classic Cabaret Belly dance routine.

...Dancing to Live Music usually requires a dancer to be able to dance without the use of a choreographed routine, improvising and dancing with the musician. (Some dancers work with  musicians and have a complete routine choreographed for their shows. ) A complete Live Music routine Cabaret style can be between 12 and 20 minutes or more..
