This is one of the most beautifully arranged and produced CDs of Arabic music I have heard. The sound is rich and velvety, inspirational to dance to and luxurious just to listen to. LOVE IT!

Excellent CD a must for professional dancers to have in their collection!
author: Madrina
An amazing arrangement of music. This CD is now one of my favorites! I have been looking for a long time for track #2. Now I have it:) This music is very emotive and moving. Wonderful fun and enjoyable. Excellent for the Arabic audiences too. Moderate tempos and rhythm changes. Beautiful CD. I love to use it in the class-rooms!

Beautiful CD with great music
author: Zohra Mostafa (formerly Izora)
WOW! I love this delightful CD. Even my Arab husband, who is hard to please, agreed that this is exceptional music.
Khalil Abboud is a fabulous singer and the women doing the
background singing are excellent. My favorite piece is the first track, "Ma b'tishaloosh leh?,"; it is very emotional and has lots of interesting changes to the music. The second track, "Ya Tayyeb el Galb," is a different arrangement of an older song and it adds a new level to music that I already loved.
The fourth track, "Walla keida agbeen," is very witty. Khalil Abboud sings, "I do one thing, you don't like it. I do the opposite, you don't like it. What else can I do? What else do you want?" Leyla was kind enough to include the English translation for the songs. It makes such a difference when you know to what you are dancing.
The sound is clear, the drumming amazing, lots and lots of emotion conveyed without sounding overdone...an all around great CD.
Standard Disclaimer: I earn nothing from this except the knowlege that I am sharing the opportunity for great music with you.

Great danceable Egyptian music
author: Catwomyn
All the songs are danceable! Usually there are 1 or 2 songs on a cd that are usable but this is all good stuff. I've been playing it practically continuously since it arrived.
Cons - at 39 minutes, it's a little short.
