Troupe Nambah thanks Mandella's husband, Jesus Rivera, for
being our paparazzi for this evening's performance.
Troupe Nambah also says thank you to Rena for hiring us to
perform.
The Nambalicious ladies performed for a triple birthday party
in the magical back yard of Vikki Sheppard among palms, waterplants and
twinkling lights; a real Garden of Allah.
The Troupe opened as a foursome with "Shubra"
and paired up according to costumes.
Bahira and Shiva paired off for a new duet "Love Beats Back
Then Mandella and Fara'Asha stepped in for a
flirty duet to "Lirrili" by Natacha Atlas
Bahira did a sensuous taxim solo to another Natacha Atlas
number
Fara'Asha and Mandella followed with a traditional
tribal number
using canes.
Rena, who booked Troupe Nambah for this performance,
specifically asked for her friend Shiva to do her
incredible veil and sword.
Mandella and Fara'Asha opted for their next duet "I'm Yours"
to be down on the grass
....a challenge to be sure for the spins!
Troupe Nambah ended with a group drum number, two on the grass and two
on the deck.
Then it was time for Open Dancing! Some guests really got into it
and a good time was had by all!
A Big Thanks to Vikki Sheppard for
sharing her delightful garden for our performance.
