Re: ISO new taksim songs

Are you looking for instrumental taksims, meaning a solo by a flute, violin, oud, kanoun, etc? If so, the CD "Belly Dance Sensation" has a ton of lovely short ones, only a minute or two each.

Or are you meaning the kind of piece that's sometimes called a beledi taksim, or beledi progression, the jazz format that starts with a single instrument (often accordian) and then the drums come in bits, then the tet and tat call and response, and building to a crescendo, sometimes a drum solo at the end?

Sorry to be dense, I just wasn't sure which you meant since I've heard the word used both ways.
