Hayati: Best Egyptian Belly Dance Music Album - Authentic Middle Eastern Sounds for Performances, Practice & Cultural Events

It is always a thrill to find new authentic music. This set of recordings is outstanding. All pieces but the last are instrumental only, and quite dignified. All are danceable, and all tracks are long enough (5-12 minutes) to dance something substantial. There is no compromising of Arabic musical tradition here, no kitsch, and no infestation of Western musical devices or mannerisms. If you perform or dance for your own pleasure, or just listen, you will want this recording.
