5.0 out of 5 stars Exotic, Mysterious, Alluring Middle Eastern Music, 1 Aug 2004
By Erika Borsos "pepper flower" (Gulf Coast of FL, USA) - See all my reviews
(TOP 500 REVIEWER)   
My discovery of George Abdo and the Flames of Araby Orchestra dates back to 1973 when I bought the 33 1/3 vinyl record, "The Best of Belly Dance" produced by Monitor Records. A girlfriend was learning 'belly dance' and needed a partner for practice, I joined her in this adventure. One can guess, it received a lot of playing time! I am so pleased to discover this Smithsonian Folkways Recording which is a masterpiece. It is a valuable collection of tsitetelli (belly dance) music from Syria, Lebanon, Egypt, Armenia, Greece and Turkey, along with impressive jazz stylizations of the highest caliber. This CD is filled with world class music that is sensuos, alluring, mysterious ... excitng ... provocative and enticing.

The creativity and artistic talents of these fine musicians is demonstrated on both traditional and modern instruments. One can hear the oud (Middle Eastern lute), qanun (similar to hammered dulcimer or zither), darbukha (type of drum), and bouzouki (Greek lute-like instrument) along with modern instruments, the piano, guitar, bass and drums. For me, the Middle Eastern rhythms played on the violin adds an unexpected and magical sound to complete this musical experience. Favorite tracks on this CD are:"Raks Araby" (Arabic Dance), "Hadouni Hadouni", "Sahirrne" (Bewitched), "Raks Mustapha" (Mustapha's Dance), "Noora Ya Norra", and "Dio Cardia" (Two Hearts). Listening to 75 minutes of this Middle Eastern muiscal feast, I understand why George Abdo is known as "the King of Belly Dance Music". Most highly recommended. Erika Borsos (Bakonyvilla)
