''How to dance to a live drummer"
Who
Issam
Issam Houshan is fast becoming a legend across the US and Western Europe as the powerhouse drummer, driving the Bellydance Superstars and Desert Roses to greater and greater glory. Already a highly accomplished percussionist on assorted Arab hand drums, and noted disciple of the famed teacher, Mahmood Salahadin, Issam is now unequaled in his field. Dubbed by fellow Syrian musicians as the Wassan Pharaoun (Pharaoh of Rhythm), his al assaben al Sahriha (magic fingers) are currently insured for 10 million dollars (1 million each).
His past credits include working with Sting at the Grammys (Desert Rose) and many visiting Arab stars to the US. His drum solos with the Bellydance Superstars are major features of each show, as captured in the films American Bellydancer and The Bellydance Superstars Live in Paris. His CD, Wassan Pharaoun, represents Issam at his best and will have huge appeal to the extensive bellydance community in the US who will find it an indispensable part of their collection.
