Her latest book released December 2020, Sound Track for Revolt, is a biography of Sayed Darwish designed to accompany another Sands of Time album, Sayed Darwish REMIX, a compilation celebrating Egypt's greatest modern composer. Yasmin wrote extensive liner notes for most of the label's releases, including its three zar albums (Egyptian trance music) which eventually led to her first book Trance Dancing with the Jinn published in 2016. The Henkesh Brothers, from a long line of Cairo's Golden Era Mohammed Ali Street musicians, agreed to help and can be heard on many of her label's albums (all on Amazon). In 2005 Yasmin created Sands of Time Music to share Egypt's rich, multifaceted music with Western audiences. She is known for her lively, invigorating classes and widely acclaimed workshops, with their depth of research and easy-to-follow movement explanations. After performing in Paris, London and Cairo with superstars Ahmed Adawiya, Sabah, Mohammed al-3izabi and Walid Toufiq, she now teaches belly dance on line and in her downtown Bethesda, Maryland dance studio, Serpentine Dance. Yasmin Henkesh is a professional belly dancer, music producer and author from Washington DC.
