I am doing my best to learn the basic belly dance Rhythms and in my journey to do so I fell upon these.

Each track is at least 14 minutes long so it's great to drill the beats into your head. I love that is isn't synthesized on a keyboard...the music is lovely to listen to and I would highly recommend the CD's. I e-mailed Mr. Delgado with some questions...he was quick to respond and I received my order in a few days.
