Belly Dance with Victoria presents
A NIGHT AT THE OASIS

Join world renowned master percussionist, Issam Houshan, and internationally beloved dancer Aziza, for an unforgettable night of Middle Eastern inspired dance and drumming. These two powerhouse performers will be joined by a talented array of dancers and drummers from across Western Canada – including several from the Okanagan.

Issam Houshan is one of the rarest of talents as that is exactly what he does – call him the Wassan Pharaoun, King Of The Drum, or Mr. Magic Fingers and you only tell the half of it. It’s his connection to the dancer that is the essence of his magic. It is a merging of egos serving a mutual and identical goal that few musicians ever master fully. Issam is now recognized as the ultimate master of his art of drumming.

Issam Houshan’s credits include touring with Sting and the Bellydance Superstars, teaching all over the world, and appearing on numerous CD and DVD titles.
