"Enjoyable old-school pan-arabic bellydance music. This came from a time when ethnic nightclubs had a mix of musicians from Egypt, Turkey, Labanon, Armenia, etc.
Rhythms are clearly labeled for beginners and the music is more accessible to western ears than some. While not as important in this age of digital music, the songs are arranged into typical 70's nightclub routines."
GREAT CD

"Eddie Kochak is great. This album is great for dancing and instruction. BUT the transfer was sloppy. My dance teacher has the original vinyl version of this album, and we both have the CD. There is a point in Nila where the recording skipped during the transfer and nobody bothered to correct it! Since we both have the same skip in both CDs we can verify this isn't a one-time fluke. The producers really need to pay closer attention when they update older music to new formats."
