Egyptian Nights: Music for Belly Dancing

Belly dancing has been defined as “solo, improvised dances based on torso articulation”. Although the exact origins of belly dancing are lost to history, there is no denying that the music of Egypt is a perfect accompaniment to this exotic form of folk and performance dance. In this recording, Egyptian musician Khamis El Fino Ali sings and plays the oud (a pear shaped 12-string instrument) on his compositions. His songs reflect the passions and moods of love. Recorded in Cairo, Egypt in 1975, Ali is accompanied by the Mohamed Madi Orchestra.
