This second release continues with the discovery of albums released in the '50s and' 80s that explore the fantastic world of Eastern sounds. Interesting discs rich of fantastic sounds, some faithful to the tradition , others containing functional translations to the Eastern stereotype in force at Western populations.
The belly dancers always play a prominent role, scantily dressed and seductive show themselves on album covers and guide the listener through forbidden fantasies.
In spite of the imagery created by the covers, I would like to emphasize that this new release brings together some of the best musicians born in the Middle Eastern music world, such as Farouk Salama, Ahmed Fouad Hassan, Mohamed Abdel Wahab, Farid El Atrache, Elias Rahbani and Abboud Abdel Al, composers whose work is history.
Not only belly dance - 25 albums of Exciting Orientals Tunes / Issue # 1

| Gina Lollobrigida 1952 |
Continua con questa seconda uscita il percorso di scoperta degli album usciti tra gli anni’50 e ‘80 che esplorano il fantastico mondo delle sonorità orientali. Dischi interessanti ricchi di fantastici suoni , alcuni fedeli alla tradizione altri contenenti traduzioni musicali funzionali allo stereotipo Orientale vigente presso le popolazioni occidentali.
Le danzatrici del ventre giocano sempre un ruolo di primo piano, accattivanti e seducenti fanno mostra di sé sulle copertine degli album e guidano l’ascoltatore attraverso fantasie proibite.
A dispetto dell’immaginario creato dalle cover , tengo a sottolineare che questa nuova uscita raccoglie alcuni tra i migliori musicisti che il mondo della musica medio orientale abbia partorito , tra questi : Farouk Salama , Ahmed Fouad Hassan, Mohamed Abdel Wahab, Farid El Atrache, Elias Rahbani e Abboud Abdel Al , geni musicali la cui opera è storia.
