Essential Bellydance
The art of bellydance has grown from a regional social custom to a global phenomenon. The exotic costumes and theatrical nature of the dance make it natural for public performance, while the emphasis on body motion and femininity make it a unique means of female bonding. In the west, Neena & Veena Bidasha, dubbed "America's Sexiest Twins," have made a splash in the bellydance arena, and have showcased their talents on television, film, in magazine articles, music videos and even the Academy Awards. This album, which was influenced by the performing of Neena & Veena, features a full set of music designed to offer a dose of fire to your bellydance work. The music features traditional instrumentation like the oud (lute), nay (flute), kanan (violin), kanoun (zither), dumbek drums and other regional sounds, featured in both slower and faster tempo pieces.
