This review is from: Best of Bellydance From Morocco (Audio CD)

This recording offers a variety of music, from Morocco to Turkey. Egypt's Mostafa Sax gives us a pair of unusual pieces that start slowly and build intensely, especially with "Afrah Baladi", a sensual seven-minute piece that worked very well in a "please make it short" venue. The Turkish numbers are traditional, and very engaging; Huseyin & Gunay Turkmenler's "Macka Yollari" worked particularly nicely as a cane dance, though Dogan-Corringham/Hadjineophytou also did an excellent piece.

This review is from: Best of Bellydance From Morocco (Audio CD)

This CD I would rate right in the middle. As always it includes Hossam Ramsy and Emad Sayyah who I always love and these are good songs. But I could barely make it through listening to the Turkish and Morroccan pieces. Its a reasonable variety though if you're new to Middle Eastern music.
