Percussion & samples, sitar and other strings. Instrumental contemporary homage to the folk music of the Silk Road. Expertly played with both humor and respect. *1. Upbeat poppy & way catchy w/accordion & guitar. An epic. *2. Mid/upbeat belly dance wiggle. So good! 3. Downtempo sitar/perc w/a warm North African feel. *4. Upbeat swirl w/hints of Arabic jazz. A night at a hip oasis. 5. Relaxed, midtempo with a hypnotic quality. 6. Dramatic strings, a down/midtempo Egyptian cinematic theme. 7. Modern meets ancient on the silk road. Downtempo groove. *8. Way hip drum tour de force. Just go with it. *9. Shalimar dances late at night for the tourists. Please tip Shalimar. 10. Lush orchestral sound down/midtempo big and rich. | ||
