Middle Eastern Rhythms

Chas, an aficionado of Middle Eastern Rhythms and teacher at the Tribe Of Doris Intercultural Summer School, tells the team from DestinyTV about his passion for the music and why this event is such a unique educational opportunity. The music workshops at the event build towards the Berber Ewash, a traditional party where everyone gets to perform as well as enjoy the spectacle. The music is led by the talented Hassan Erraji with Jaqui Jamal encouraging the partygoers to join her in the Middle Eastern dances.

This video was made by DestinyTV, Norton Radstock's community video team at the Intercultural Summer School 2002. It is part of a larger project looking at the Tribe Of Doris Intercultural Summer School which took place August 2002 in the Blackdown Hills on the border of Devon and Somerset.

The DestinyTV team also made two other short pieces at the event and are currently working on a longer programme about the ideas behind this unique summer school.
