Why don't we post the names of some of our favorite CD's/tapes or the name of musicians we really enjoy dancing to? My current favorite is "Sha'waza".
Desert Wind's 2 CD set "World Dance"
Bellydance Superstars Volume 1 - songs chosen by dancers. My favorites are Ay Ah Leil, Chicky by Oojami and both of the drum solos.
Bellydance Jam - not sure of the artist
I really want Sa'Iyr - a Tribal Metamorphosis. It's very different, the music that Rachel Brice uses.
We use a lot of Hossam Ramzy's music in class. He has quite a few cd's.
Native American drum music by David and Steve Gordon works very well too. Sacred Spirit Drums is my favorite. You can find them at Sequoyah Records.
