Thread: Khaleegi recommendations?

Hi...

I've decided that I need to listen to more khaleegi music! I'd like some recommendations for good CDs...compilations ideally.

TIA

I can recommend Khaleeji Mix - The sounds of the Gulf, and also Best Khaleeji Album In The World Ever 2004 (I think there are a couple of versions of this on the market). They are both good compilations and I've used several songs off each for performance purposes.

I *love* Abdul Majeed Abdullah. Right now I'm listening to "The best of...". Also like Nabil Shu'ail, and of course Souhail Kaspar's Khaleeji CD. Oh, and lots of others.

Also check out "Can Wedi Niltigi" in the Bhuz music section. I love this song! An Iraqi friend helped me translate it a couple of years ago. (Not sure who posted it.)

I should explain that Khaliji/Khaleegy dance is one of my big faves, and I've always loved the music, preferably the more acoustic rather than synthesized.

I really like Souhail Kaspar's "Khaliji album... every song is great!

Thanks for all the suggestions (credit card out, shopping commences )
