Music

Blending of music styles has occurred for centuries; shaping music throughout the world. Recently, however, there has emerged distinctly new music forms rather than music transformed by slow cultural changes. "World beat," evolving in the 1980's, has become very popular. The style involves a purposeful fusion of rhythms and melodies of several countries. Arab music is now included in the world beat sound and gaining popularity in the West. Depending on the style of belly dance, the music you dance to will obviously vary. Over the last few years. music that is suitable for belly dancing has become much more readily available, even in remote areas.

On Line Music

Music can be ordered through your local music store - you will need to know the names of albums and/or artists. To help you with this, visit music and musician sites on the web and listed to samples of their music before your order it.

You can access music that is played 'live' online (mp3 and real audio). There are also a number of sites where full songs can be downloaded (mp3 MIDI and real audio)- for personal use is the usual caveat

Music can be easily purchased via the web -remember it is buyer beware- buy from reputable dealers and secure sites.
