This review is from: Our Musical Heritage Series: Music of Middle East [VHS] (VHS Tape)

This video was evidently transfered from a movie (the type you would watch in grade school on days when it was raining during recess.) As a result, the sound track is not always perfectly in sync with the picture, and the color is pretty horrendous. This video is only 20 minutes long, which came as something of a surprise to me. The video instroduces some instruments of Middle Eastern music, as well as providing a brief history of the spread of Islamic culture. Some virtuosic performances and some ethnic dances round out the production. All of this without getting too deep (what do you expect for 20 minutes?) This video looks like it was probably shot in the mid to late 1960's and was transferred to VHS in 1987...
