Four male performers dressed in white folk robes (galabeya) with ornate green-and-red embroidered vests raise decorated tambourines (duff) overhead in a synchronized rhythmic display at the Wakala Al-Ghouri Arts Center on Al-Azhar Street, Hussein district, Cairo. The performance takes place on a stage lit with warm theatrical lighting against historic stone walls, representing a living tradition of Egyptian folk music and percussion dance. Wakala Al-Ghouri is one of Cairo's most celebrated cultural venues for preserving and presenting Egyptian heritage arts.
