CD Reviews

Fantastic old-school turkish bellydance
Nadira Jamal of the Improvisation T | Massachusetts | 10/04/2006
(5 out of 5 stars)

"I just love this CD. If you prefer your bellydance arabic (especially modern egyptian pop), this isn't for you. If, however, you like old-school Turkish or American Traditional style belly dance (which was heavily influenced by turkish dancers), this is for you. Also recommended: Gypsy Fire by Hagopian and Tekbilek.



What I like:

- it's all real instruments (not synthesizers)

- it's full of traditionally-rendered classics (songs that the bands I dance with know)

- virtuoso taqsims (instrumental solos) in a classic, jazzy Turkish style

- TWO karsilamas (turkish romani songs in 9/8 time)



What I don't like:

- the 14-minute is included as a single track, so I can't break out the individual sections)"
Essential turkish belly dance
K. Jensen | Camas, WA | 05/04/2006
(5 out of 5 stars)

"This album is a must for any belly dancers' (ever growing) music collection. Ozel provides a good 14 minute Turkish routine, and there are many diverse tracks on here which are great for teaching the different rhythms associated with turkish belly dance as well. One person's chiftitelli is not the same as another's, and I have found this album very helpful in demonstrating how different turkish music and egypto-arabic music are to my classes. Very classic turkish belly dance album, and very recommended. I didn't think it was at all 'cheesey', but to each their own."
