The music on this CD is beautifully orchestrated and is completely capitvating. The quality of the recording is excellent and sounds great even on a portable CD player. With energetic and upbeat tempos, it makes a great music companion for working out, rehearsing and/or performing. This CD is a definite "must have" for any belly dancer.

I would not have heard of this lady if the late Aaliyah didn't sample the music in her song Don't Know What To Tell Ya from the album I Care 4 U, but i really likeit. I dont understand a word but still i feel the music, beats and rythm and truly excellent!

This cd is really good. It has a nice eastern beat to it. I have to admit that one of her songs sounds a bit weird, but Nar El Gheira is by far the best song on the cd. It is very up=beat and it makes you want to dance all day long.

Mrs Warda has a beautiful voice and this CD showcases it well. If you want something to relax to and just rest this is probably it. I had been looking for something to dance to but I am still not disappointed. The songs are between 6:30 and 14:29 minutes long which adds to their soothing nature to me. It's nice to have music that isn't just a snippet.

I don't recommend this particular CD for bellydancers, if you are looking for something to dance to try some of her more recent work.

THIS IS A GOOD CD. WARDA IS UP BEAT.THERE ARE A COUPLE OF REALLY GOOD SONGS,I FIND IT HARD TO KEEP STILL WHEN I HERE THEM.THERE IS NOT ALOT OF WAILING.SHE HAS SOFTEND HER VOICE TO BLEND PERFECT WITH THE MUSIC.

While Warda's voice is pleasing enough, what really grabbed me about the CD is the wildly diverse and clever keyboard playing. The liner notes don't say it, but it sounds to me like most of the exotic instruments heard here....from the Egyptian strings to the kunun to the North African percussion and woodwinds.....were all played by a very talented keyboardist who knows his way around a pitch wheel. Of course, hearing this, one can't help wish that the sounds were actually being made by a room full of Arabic musicians, but I understand that isn't always possible. This keyboardist does as good a job as can be done in emulating a whole host of exotic sounds, with arrangements and playing techniques that demonstrate his deep knowledge of the various musical traditions.
