BELLY DANCE
Abbud Abdel Aal & His Golden Strings - Belly Dance For Arabian Nights [1973]
Belly Dance For Arabian Nights by Abbud Abdel Aal & His Golden Strings is a 1973 vinyl gem that feels like stepping into a candlelit lounge somewhere in Beirut, with oud melodies floating through the air. Released by Peters International, this U.S. pressing features stereo recordings originally made in Lebanon, and it’s got all the charm of a vintage belly dance soundtrack.
The album is packed with evocative tracks like “Sahara City,” “Layaly Assiout,” and “Cham El Nassim,” each layered with lush strings and hypnotic rhythms perfect for dancers or dreamy late-night listening. It’s not just music, its mood, movement, and magic.
Whether you’re a collector of Middle Eastern vinyl or just love discovering global grooves, this LP is a warm, vibrant slice of 1970s nostalgia. And yes, the cover art is pure kitsch gold.

Hallo hallo,
ReplyDeleteEven though this music is not to most followers of this blog their cup of tea (probably), anybody who loves music should listen to this - at least a couple of times :)
This music is so rich!
Thank you very much BB to give us this opportunity -

HiGiulio.
DeleteThanks so much for the kind words. I’m thrilled you gave it a chance, even if it’s outside the usual sonic terrain of the blog. That richness you felt is exactly what I hoped would come through. Layers of emotion, texture, and storytelling that reward repeat listens.
It means a lot that you’re open to exploring something different. Music’s magic often lives in those unexpected corners. I post these to inspire and learn. Its always about the music.
Cheers.
