Oriental Dance from Turkey – Ensemble Hüseyin Türkmenler
[EUCD1915]

New bellydance pieces from Turkey. Hüseyin Türkmenler’s latest production is up-beat, quirky, cheeky and very “belly-danceable”. The music is traditional, with modern arrangements and played on a mix of traditional and modern instruments. The pieces are all fairly short so they are excellently suited for beginning dancers as well.
