Artist: Anestos Athounasiou and His Ensemble
LP: Music For Belly Dancing: Instrumental Music of the Near East
Song: "Arapines (Arabian Girl)"
The weekend is here, so I imagine everyone will be heading out to engage in the Middle Eastern form of dancing popularly referred to as "belly dancing." Here's a little song to help you practice. There's not much info on Anestos on the web, but I do know he's got a couple of debonaire fellas in his ensemble named Georgos and Visilios, and the lovely lady featured on the cover is British Jewish belly dancer Sultana Noga. You can listen to more of Anestos Athounasiou's fabulous oud playing here, and buy your own copy of his "Music For Belly Dancing" LP on vinyl here or on CD here.
