Review:
From Cairo to Beirut: Raks Sharki, the Oriental Dance - since the colonial days wrongly known as "belly dancing" - is one of the most fascinating exports of the Middle East: The finely woven melodies and undulating rhythms give the body a buoyancy unknown to other forms of corporeal movement. This album features Beirut - together with Cairo the most important centre of Oriental Dance. So take the next nightflight and dance this out for yourself. — CalabashMusic.com |
