Emad Sayyah and others

Review by Pantherboy: These discs got bashed (individually) on Amazon for not being authentic. I would disagree - the music is very authentic, and, yes, they have limited fidelity which should be your FIRST clue that they ARE authentic. The female singer is not one of the best (her range is limited) but the music is very enjoyable. Listen to the sound samples, and you'll get the idea. I think this is a good deal for the money.

Review by Simone Gasser: The full title of this album is "The Belly Dance Album in the World - Ever"! Now, that's quite something.... This CD was put together in cooperation with the famous Lebanese dancer Amani who appears on the cover and for whom one of the pieces was written. There are two kinds of music on the CD: Old, all time favourites and new composition. Of course, you can never go wrong with those old pieces. Most are Arabic, one is Turkish. As for the new ones, some of them sound a bit too "western" for me. I like Arabic music to be, well, Arabic. All in all it's a nice album that gives a good overview of very different styles and interpretations of music for oriental dance.

Yalla! Hitlist Egypt
Selections of current (1990) Al Jeel ("the generation") and the Shaabi (working class "people's") music. Al Jeel is an energetic pop combination of Bedouin, Nubian and Egyptian rhythms using modern instrumentation. Shaabi is a more traditional fusion of city and country sounds, a sort of ghetto blues with heavier social commentary. This is not specifically for dancing and includes several songs with strong political commentary that shouldn't be danced to. There are some fun Arabic pop and an Arabic rap song (cool!) that are very nice and danceable! Excellent liner notes.
