Jalilah’s Raks Sharki ~ Raks Sharki 5: Stars of Casino Opera ~ CD
Designed to serve as a sort of Solo Compas series for Middle Eastern dance, these discs make for great listening while systematically covering different rhythms and styles. Recorded in Cairo by top musicians, this music is highly evocative, and also makes a faithful accompanist for anyone interested in dancing or playing along with a professional ensemble.
