Thread: need a song without a keyboard

hi all,
can someone recommend a traditional song (post a link for me) that DOES NOT have a keyboard? i'm looking for something earthy, yet traditional, instrumental, old-school without keyboard....thinking more full orchestra orientle. ....(egyptian, syrian, iraqi lebanese, tunisian, ...)

i'm sooo bored of the keyboard, and not just looking for a drum solo
:)

Check out Abbud Abdel Aal and his Golden Strings. I saw an audio of his here on bhuz, "Sahara city" from the album which I own I think they have a wonderful oldschool sound and I remember without synthetical sounds at all - the recording is great and it doesn't sound "tired" at all. Also check out the thread on "what cds do you love lately", there is Leyla's whatever??? I listened to samples on cd baby and the sound is fabulous...

God so many songs of which I think: if they had only bothered to hire an orchestra to record this it would have been sooo great...the tabla, the accordion, the violin - all terrible...

Sahara City is great. Especially, the newly released live version, with Nagwa Fouad. I danced to it in Chicago a couple years ago. Chilling music!!!!

It's on Sayidi Belly Dance with Nagwa Foaud. The first track is Sahara City. The 2 track is a complete 1/2 hour routine. The first song though can be used as a complete routine, complete with drum solo and finale. The rest has natural stops so it would be fairly easy to edit. It's all LIVE music.

Also check out any of the VOS stuff mostly live orchestra. If you want something without a keyboard you pretty much have to go pre-80's. Accordian music played a key role before the keyboard.

I have a lot of old cassettes I'm planning on converting to digital. None of the new stuff compares to the old.
