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.
