4.0 out of 5 stars Really great, especially for the price, May 23, 2000

This review is from: Belly Dance Instrumentals (Audio CD)

This CD had several very danceable pieces, and some great drum solos. The music is from Morocco and Lebannon and uses traditional Middle Eastern instruments tabla, bendir, tambourine, viola, bendir, guitar, violin and drums.

Not all of the pieces are ones that I would use to dance to, though, which is why I only gave it 4 stars, but there is more than enough here to justify the price. One note...the songs on this CD are from 'Modern Bellydance Music from Lebanon' vol IV, Belly Dance from Morocco, Songs and Dances from Morocco, and Belly Dance from Morocco (all ARC Music) -- just in case you have those CD's already.

1.0 out of 5 stars Muzak, December 16, 2002

Bellydancing muzak with no soul or purpose.
Good music for listening while you wash your socks, as my father
likes saying.

There are a ton of better alternatives that can represent Arabic
Egyptian music, if you're interested. Classics: Mohammed Abdul Wahab, Oum Kalthoum, or pop: Najwa Karam, etc etc. For bellydancing arrangments try the Princess of Cairo, or the Wash Ya Wash, or Jalilah's cd's... etc.

4.0 out of 5 stars Very good production and little price, June 15, 2001

This review is from: Belly Dance Instrumentals (Audio CD)

Most of the songs in this cd are enjoyable and really move you to dance. Most experienced dancers will like it more because it changes tempo and has many accents difficult to pick up to begginers. The only tune I was expecting to hear and never came up was a slow one, you know, so that you can use your veil or get into floorwork, but this is really a great cd to own.
