The first item in my Cool Stuff Blog that I want to present is a video of an African troupe performing and dancing to traditional Atsiagbekor music. As the video progresses watch the intricate dance, it’s really fascinating and ornate. This video can be found on YouTube under the title Kopeyia Bloomfield Cultural Troupe performs "Atsiagbekor".
My second item is a short video of traditional Oud music performed by Ali Hassan. A lot of the content in the video closely relates to the presentations given today in class. This video can also be found on YouTube under the title Oud Music by Ali Hassan.
And last but not least, my last tidbit of information is a website that details how to tune an Oud. After watching the presentations today, I couldn’t help but wonder how do you tune a fretless instrument with double strings? Luckily, this website has the perfect answer. The address for this website is:

I hope you enjoy my cool stuff!

the African dance is really cool. You can tell that it was captured on a hand held camera. I imagine that the dancers have to rehearse quite a bit.
