This is how it sounded at the belly dancing joint Super Night Club in downtown Cairo.

Environment description:
Tobias and I are sitting at a small table in a pretty large room together with about 30 other people (age = middle age+). In front of us there is a stage. In the back of the stage the 5-man band are sitting, playing their instruments. On the scene a 50-year old man is moving around with a microphone in is hand, singing in arabic. A belly dancer is moving to the beat dancing round the singing man.

The music is played extremely loud and gets distorted in our ears. They are applying heavy delay effects on everything, both instruments and microphone!.
