Free Music Review: Raks Sharki Dance Party!
Hit: 5 Stars
For those of you looking for a good bellydance compilation CD, this is a great place to start. All the music on this CD is instrumental, drawing on traditional Middle Eastern instruments and musical sensibilities, and theres a very good mix of stuff here. Omar Faruk Tekbilek provides a wonderful Turkish/Caucasian/Gypsy dance song, Reda Darwish contributes a fiery drum solo, Mohamed Matar shows some virtuoso bouzuk playing, and Jalilah contributes several songs from the "Jalilah's Raks Sharki" series. Everything from Turkish Gypsy music (Kemani Cemal Cinarli) to Lebanese jazz (Rabih Abou-Khalil). But perhaps the highlight of the CD is a 12 minute dance piece by Egypt's Mahmoud Fadl. Other highlights include Ahmed Mneimneh on qanoun, classical Arabic orchestral music from Ahmad Fouad Hasan, and a lively contemporary fusion piece from Armando El Mafufo. Drawing on traditional and cabaret music from Egypt, Turkey, Syria, Lebanon, Armenia and beyond, this is a great place to start if you want to get some good bellydance music.
