Wonderful music for dancing.......2005-12-27

This CD Set is wonderful for dancing! its very clear and delightful. I would recommend it to anyone interested in learning belly dance, or middle eastern music styles.

Best of Baladi and Saaidi.......2005-10-14

This 2 CD set is part of my music collection for teaching and listening. It is a must for all teachers and students of Egyptian Raqs Sharqi. CD 1 is mostly percussion featuring Egyptian rhythms Saaidi and Maqsoum. Cd 2 is mostly compositional tunes with these base rhythms. I use these CDs in the warm-up and middle portion of the class to introduce my students to these rhythms.

Mr. Ramzy is an accomplished Middle Eastern percussionist, musician, teacher and scholar. He is a master in his craft and makes this evident in the level of workmanship and skill in producing these CDs.

Very nice.......2004-03-04

The Baladi CD is wonderful! The music invites you to dance. I believe all the bellydancers would love it!
The Saaidi cd is good to stick dance.Itýs very traditional egypcian folklore. It reminds a group of bedouin women in the middle of the desert dancing by the fire...

Far too traditional.......2003-02-12

I bought this cd hoping that I could pick up some tracks for my belly dance performances. I was a bit disappointed because both CDs are quite heavy to listen to and not very inviting for dancing. Perhaps someone more expert than me on authentic middle eastern music would appreciate this style. I personally prefer Ramzy's El Amar, which is more pleasing to the ear.

Great ethnic music!.......2002-07-31

These CDs were being used in my belly dance class, so I decided to pick them up for myself. They're wonderful! As a previous reviewer mentioned, it's awfully hard to sit still while they're on, and the rhythms are so clear and precise. I'm using the CDs primarily to improve my percussive hip moves and my finger cymbal work, and they're making a huge difference!
