Incredibly catchy, high octane dance music from the heart of the middle east. ALL the tracks featured here have great traditional percussion mixed with thumping, modern beats. If you don’t find yourself grooving to this album, you have a problem, my friend.
Track 1: Think leggy Valentino models walking down the ramp. Bouncy sax refrain and sensual fem. vox going “habibi”. Nice!
Track 2: Traditional middle eastern percussion with beautiful flute and arabic drums.
Track 3: Thumpy driving base with lots of exotic percussion.
Track 4: Gushing water and other tribal/natural sounds at the beginning, then pure jungle percussion jam.
Track 5: Similar to 3, only thumpier.
Track 6: Jangling strings, flute, percussion against the backdrop of a stormy night. Get up and belly dance!
Track 7: Similar to 5, only thumpier.
Track 8: Starts with slow piano+ chirping birds +“lounge” sounds, then heavy Latin carnival/dance beats take over (around ~1:30).
Track 9: Exotic with disco-ish feel. Great male vocal interlude @ 1:40.
Track 10: wailing pipes, more percussion, lots of clapping.
