I dance Egyptian Cabaret Style, mostly at restaurants and parties. I like traditional stuff, songs with lots of changes in tempo and rhythym.

What I like: big, small and medium orchestration
Rhythym changes and tempo changes
Egyptian/Lebanese music
What I don't like: Cheesy synthesizer caliope type music

Warning - shameless self promotion - My CD "Golden Days, Enchanting Nights" will probably interest you. All but one track are medium size orchestration. The one track has only 2 instruments and the voice of Khalil Abboud singing a wonderful mawal. All the music is Egyptian style, some old songs and 2 new songs, and one 12-min dance musical (includes drum solo and many rhythm changes) "Leyla's Music" composed by the late (recently) Hassan Abou el Seaoud. Available on CDBaby, iTunes, Rhapsody and a dozen or so other online services. No cheesy synthesizer caliope stuff! A few Bhuzzers have already bought it and love it!..g.:

Dear Leylalanty, I own it already! I do like it....
thanks for the head's up though!
I own so many cd's, just sold close to 100 on swap page, and still looking for more.....
