Spotlight customer reviews: Customer Rating: Summary: The Sumptuous Sounds of the Middle East Comment: This CD is invaluable as a companion piece to Tanna Valentine's marvelous DVD Bellydance Show Basics for Beginners and it also makes for fabulous music if you want to make up your own choreography, or just to listen to at home, alone or with guests; I just ironed a stack of clothes with this music on, making a boring job a pleasure! Arranged by Amir Naoum and Elias Sarkar, the 14 tracks combine some very traditional melodies with a few original compositions. Naoum's virtuosity shimmers in 3 drum solos (tracks 6, 9, and 12) and there are 2 vocals by Sarkar, track 8, which will be very familiar to middle eastern music aficionados, "Lama Bada" (this piece gets an instrumental version as well in track 11), and track 10 "Bu Dunya." Another familiar piece is "Soode-Soode" which also gets 2 treatments, on track 7 and again in the fantastic "Finale." Two big favorites for me are the sensual Ciftetelli tracks (5 and 13) with the oud and violin weaving their magical notes. Well produced with a nice, clear sound, "Belly Dance New York" will be an excellent addition to your middle eastern music collection. Total playing time is 49:29. Customer Rating: Summary: Buy this with the DVD! Comment: I love this CD! The most exciting part is that you can get the DVD "Belly Dance Show Basics for Beginners" and learn the choreographies! Of course it's fun to improvise as well! This CD is full of classic, familiar favorites! I remember having to use low quality tape recordings of these songs... it's great to have them on crisp, clear CD. Customer Rating: Summary: Perfect for practice! Even for a performance!!!! Comment: You will love this cd as it shows what rythym it is and whether it is drum solo or the sultry slow chiftetelli. It is great to practice moves to different rythym and also for making a beautiful bellydance show! I love it. I couldnt wait so I downloaded it for quick listnening access!
