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.

Thank you very much for these :) I think there is some problem with "Asaad Khouri – Belly Dance With Asaad Khouri And His Accordion", the download keeps failing no matter how many times I try.
RispondiEliminaNever mind, it's working now :)
RispondiEliminaok, it seemed to me all right
RispondiEliminathank you very much! as you noted despite the marketing, there are some quite well known accomplished musicians here. looking forward to hearing.
RispondiEliminaTks for all the good music here, showing that arab culture is still alive.
RispondiEliminaYou are doing a good job!
Carlos
Arabic music is alive and well, enjoys excellent health and I believe that in its contemporary expressions it represents (along with other non-Western musical expressions) the future of music. Thank you for your nice comment, you have been very kind.
RispondiEliminaamazing as always
RispondiEliminanice
RispondiEliminawhere is the music? the files don't have any music files in them, just the album covers!
RispondiEliminaI checked, the music files are regularly contained within the articles. I think the error is yours, or your pc. Many files are named in Arabic, perhaps it may depend on this. You are the only one who has had this problem
