"Over all I like this CD pretty well. The music selections seem to be pretty Egyptian/Cabaret heavy. There are one or two pieces from the tribal performances. But if you really like the happpy bouncey "HABIBI! HABIBI!" sort of music then this is the CD for you. I just gotta warn you again that the selection is just not very diverse.
But over all I enjoy the CD. The bouncey stuff they have is good."

"..........Wow. A friend of my sister's first turned me on to bellydance and now I love it. I don't usually dance to it, I just love listening to the some-what foreign music. Whether you're a dancer or not, bellydance music is loads of fun! It is just awesome to hear all the cultural music, a lot of which sounds African. If you want to try something new, you MUST check out bellydance! It has got a lot of techno to it, which I love. This album is fantastic!"
Great for Dancing!!!

"These are all very good songs for dancing. It is very easy to make a choreography from these songs, especially for a folkloric group. There is a lot of fun folkloric music here. There is a modern fusion piece with drums by Isaam (#2). The drums are very beautiful and Isaam is a great drummer. The first song on this CD is one of my favorite songs. It has such a beautiful arrangement. The music is a rich mixture of baladi, saidi, classical and drums. I love number ten also: it is a lovely accordion baladi. This CD also has very nice, interesting music that could be used for tribal-style. Overall, it is a great CD, and I like all of the songs here."

"I like this one, but maybe not as much as volume one and two. I think there are a lot of good songs that really get you in the mood to just jump up and dance. I remember all this music from the local Belly dance festival though, so when you buy it, if you are using it for a performance, remember that it's a very common album and a lot of others maybe using the same music."
