: Hello. Wow. the 'not as easy as it seams-nes' of teaching about
henna is settling in.(!) How do you suggest that I cram all this info
into my students info-thirsty heads? also, what kind of music should
we listen to to set the mood? Quawwali is good, but what else? Also,
where can I get tools and henna related 'stuff' from other countries?
GTG!
I can't tell you much about the teaching aspect, but I can advise
about music. There is a great CD of trance music that has Moroccan
sufi chants on it. There is also a series of trance music by various
artists - there are about 5 different CD's and the music is fabulous
for setting a henna mood. Catherine suggested Hassan Hakmoun a while
ago and I second that suggestion. He's a Moroccan guy living in NY
and he does a style of Moroccan music called "gnawa". Anything that
is gnawa will do but Hakmoun is one of the few recognizable "names"
in this style. good luck!
