This review is from: Turkish Bellydance: Desert Night Dance (Audio CD)

This CD has it all. These instrumental tracks move from the deeply seductive and vaguely mystical to a veritable cascade of rhythm and light. All of them are very danceable and conjure vivid imigary. You can almost hear the crackle of wood and feel the heat from the flicker of the campfire flames in the desert... Wonderful all-rounder stuff!

This review is from: Turkish Bellydance: Desert Night Dance (Audio CD)

This CD is quickly becoming one of my favorites. The first song "Qül Geceleri Dansi" is a wonderful song for veil work to it starts slow then it move into a faster pace then back to slow. Also on the CD are two of my all time favorite Turkish songs "Kasik Oyun Havasi" (Spoon Dance)& "Serker Oglan" (Sugar Boy). If you like Turkish Belly Dance music you will like this one.

This review is from: Turkish Bellydance: Desert Night Dance (Audio CD)

This is a good recording of Turkish belly dance music, it never fails to make me want to dance. The music is lively and fun to listen to even if you do not belly dance. The music sounds authentic to me, but I am not at all an expert in regards to Middle Eastern music. They do use authentic instruments, such as the Saz (long-necked lute).
