Andalee and Mike Owens, from Clovis, CA, met 13 years ago, when Andalee was a burgeoning Raqs Sharqi soloist and amateur drummer. After almost 8 years of trying to persuade her husband to learn to play drums for her Andalee finally got her wish! Mike Owens is now a serious student of Arabic tabla and quickly surpassed Andalee in proficiency (much to her dismay and delight!). Now the couple enjoys playing and dancing together, raising their two daughters, and producing the super-fun event Hot Raqs taking place every summer in Clovis, CA.
