Circle dance by [[Moshiko Halevy]], 1976. The song is ethnic Arabic, sung on the recording by Moshiko himself.

Concerning the song, Moshiko says<ref>Interview with Moshiko, 23 September 2018</ref>:
<blockquote>
When i was 10 years old in my neighborhood in my village we used to gather in the evening
at the center of the village, all the boys, making a fire and singing. This was one of the songs
I used to sing, and they would answer just as on the recording. It's in Arabic, about [boys and
girls], the dark girls, the hair of the girls, all kinds of fantasy.

Not everyone knows it, it's a very very old song, nobody remembers it.
Muslims might be offended by it; the words are more for fun than [reality].
It's the way we used to sing when we were children, real Arabs would never sing this kind of song.
But since it was a very initimate memory of my childhood I wanted to do something
with it, so I choreographed a dance to it. [After] my childhood, through school
and after that dancing and Army, until I arrived in America it took more than
20 years. So I decided that maybe it would be nice to put it as a dance.
