Arabic music to belly dance to...your recommendations please

[mousiemousie]

dd and I would like to re-live our recent eyptian holiday by belly dancing at home...but we need some suitable arabic music...help!

Try Natasha Atlas ("Diaspora" is good) for a modern kind of Arabic music, or Cheb Khaled.

thank you! I knew there would be a mumsnetter who could help!

hossan ramzy and natasha atlas. www.shira.net I think has loads of info about all aspects of belly dancing

There are a couple of compilations called "Arabesque" and "Arabesque zoudge" which have great stuff on them. And Natascha Atlas is great. Find a belly dance class near you at www.wiggle.org.uk .

it's fun
