4.0 out of 5 stars Great for those needing a wide varity of bellydance music!, August 11, 2000

By	"jet_phoenix" (Wichita Falls, TX United States) - See all my reviews

This is one of the first CDs I got when I started. I still use it often! If you are just starting out, and not sure what type of music you like best, this is where to start. This CD has fast, slow, and medium beats, and there is going to be at least one song that you will like.

5.0 out of 5 stars Absolutely Wonderful!, July 12, 2000

By A Customer

I own this CD, and I believe it is a wonderful, wonderful compilation of artists from the Middle East. And the music is great to dance to-trust me, I know. I'm a belly dancer myself. The music from Egypt all the way to Arabia is, to me, traditional sounding. I recommend it completely.

3.0 out of 5 stars Best of Bellydance from Egypt, Lebanon, Arabia, and Turkey
It is good and I like it but I am new to Belly danceing and found the music a bit to fast for me. I would say that this music would be for those more experienced at the art.
