music selection

2008-03-27T22:40:29Z

tribes » Entertainment & Arts » Tribal Bellydance » topics »

We're more of a tribaret troupe and we're looking for a kick *** song to dance to for a major performance. We are doing a solace song, and Bombay by Timerland...we want something dramatic for the last song, maybe something that has nice sections so each of the troupe can have a moment in the spotlight.. We've been kicking around some non-traditional music like bands such as Massive Attack and Nine Inch Nails but so far we haven't found anything that we feel works well. We like a moody, gothic sort of start but it needs a kick to it...we're open to suggestions of what other songs/bands we can try. Anything you can suggest and we'll be thankful in our search for just the right song! We want to find something that hasn't been done to death...our Solace song, Nataraja, is about as traditional as we get but it should work side by side with this other song somehow. I've tried all the bands that have been mentioned here but when I start searching youtube I find that alot of the songs are already being used by bellydancers and we don't want to repeat...

Help! Looking for some music and need inspiration...

2008-03-07T16:56:53Z

Hi all,

I'm going to be a genie in June - and I need a wierd bit of music to dance to, as i want to be a fairly dark and sensual genie - at the moment i'm going to use Amon Tobin's Proper Hoodidge, which is great - but I'm not convinced its right just yet.

Anyone know of any great music which still has an arabic feel to it but is wierd and or could be suited to something like a slightly mischevieous genie?

Thanks!

song for a vocalist

2007-12-14T22:19:09Z

Hi All!
I am looking for suggestions for an upcoming show. I like the idea of dancing to the accompaniment of friends and want to dance to a friends singing. The challenge is that she is a soprano and her voice isn't suited to pop music. Any ideas on where to find music or suggestions for songs? She is willing to sing in any language. I'd like something fast and happy, but am willing to do something slower. Help?!?

Nomadiqa Ethnic Fusion and Arabesque Beats

Hi Folks,
We recently released our debut album. It's a mix of electronic and ethnic/arabian styles, some downtempo, and some eastern european influences also. Just thinking it might be of interest to the folks in this tribe who like this kind of material and vibe. Especially if you like the RealWorld, AfroCelts stuff, etc.

There's four full tracks available to listen online.

I know it got posted elsewhere but seeing it there made me so happy! I finally got it downloaded and listened to it in the car on the way to work.

Pentaphobe.

2007-04-20T23:48:56Z

Now, these days the man who fears fives has become a household name in the tribal fusion bellydance scene, and I'm surprised that no one has yet mentioned him here! The music that he created for the BDSS and The Indigo's/Rachel Brice's performances have truly changed what we dancers have come to want and expect from fusion belly dance music. While he calls some of his work, "Difficult Listening," (hehe) the glitchy soundscapes mixed in with Middle Eastern rhythms have really altered the musical landscape from which we dancers pull. I don't think I had ever heard a 10/8 Sama'i rhythm created completely with industrial metal sounds before I heard "Some Eye" (also called "Same High"), and the thought that I would ever hear something like hadn't even crossed my mind. Today, it is rare to attend a fusion belly dance show where at least someone is not performing to his work. In addition to being a pioneer in the genre, he's an intelligent and all-around Good Person with a quirky sense of humor.

Let's hope that he releases a new body of work soon!

NEW SOLACE MIX CD!

2007-03-13T16:41:48Z

Coming this April, EMP is releasing Moon Moth Mixes: A Belly Dance Practice Companion, produced by Solace and Blue Damsel’s Rachel Lazarus Soto. The Moon Moth Mixes is a collection of five 13+ minute tracks designed for belly dance class/workshop use and drilling. Each track maintains a steady tempo for the entire length of the song, while the feel of the tracks weave in and out of many moods creating an amazing array of diversity. There are two slow tracks: one frame drum piece and one electronica piece, and three uptempo tracks in varying tempos from slower, to medium, to fast, so that you can progress your class or your own drilling with the advancement of your proficiency. Featured in the mixes are samples from Ruben van Rompaey's re-released Eastern Expressions 2: Gomera, Maduro's Shimmer Sustain, Solace's Nagari, as well as a full length remix of 'Jiva', from Solace's Nagari, and a full length remix of 'Sleeping Sober' from the upcoming (early 2008) Solace Release Opium Head. These mixes were assembled by Jeremiah Soto, the writer/producer of Solace, and may be considered some of his finest work yet. This disc will be available for pre-order, so visit our store!

Lumin- Hadra Album

2007-01-09T09:20:33Z

The San Francisco Bay Area is a magnet for world music players, and Lumin is another bubble floating up from that global stew. The group is born from another band, called Stellamara, with Jeffrey Stott and Michael Emenau. In Lumin, they are joined by singer Irina Mikhailova. Born in Kazakhstan, Mikhailova is an enchantress who wails in a voice that fuses her Kazakh and Russian roots, with eastern European vocal styles and Middle Eastern effects. Sometimes singing in Bulgarian, her native Kazakh, or her own hybrid dialect, she creates the sound of ecstasy and lament, often simultaneously. Mikhailova is surrounded by a kinetic mix of grooves from Emenau, free-wheeling through a rhythmic landscape of electronic sounds and acoustic percussion samples. Stott weaves it all together, playing Middle Eastern oud, hammered dulcimer, and a bowed string & drone instrument called the yali-tambur. While rooted in folk music, it's a hallucinatory blend, laced to trance grooves and melodies that reach across the heavens and into the soul. --John Diliberto

Knossos in San Diego!

2006-12-23T19:52:37Z

On Thursday, Jan. 11, come see the musical stylings of Knossos at the Kava Lounge!! Knossos, is an unusual blend of middle-eastern instrumentation with dense percussive layers of organic sounds and textured beats. Truly electro-acoustic in nature, the premise of the Knossos sound centers around the manipulation of eastern acoustic instruments with signal processing and ambient distress. Special performances by Urban Tribal Dance Company!

Show starts at 8pm. $10 cover.

Solace & Mr Soto

2006-10-13T16:20:33Z

Perhaps it's far fetched on me to say....but I see Solace & Mr Soto as the founder of fusion belly dance music....
Correct me if I'm wrong.....but I cannot recall any more prominant , cutting edge artist for fusion bellydance that was there from the beginning .....

And his sheer number of amazing albums- brilliant works of art-& their popularity- speak volumes for themselves.

He varies his style and content enough each album to give the listener a fresh sound.
I cannot rave enough about his work and cannot wait to hear what he releases in the future.

A special thank you & encouragement to share!

2006-10-12T03:57:01Z

I created this tribe out of sheer admiration for world artists such as Mr Soto & Solace, Tim R, Maduro, Knossos and so many more- too many to name..... all those that definately deserve more recognition.

Also, I wanted a place where everyone felt free to share and recommend and even PROMOTE these amazing artists. They enrich our lives in so many ways....more than mere words can ever say.

As brilliantly gifted artists and wonderful people, these musicians....the famous as well as the up and coming & even the yet undiscovered......are the heartbeat and soul of a dancer.

I wanted to send out a very special thank you to all the musicians out there- ALL OF YOU-for all your hard work, your insight, your talent, your dedication.....for sharing with the rest of the world your "art".

So many people take for granted the HUGE effect and influence music has on our lives.
It motivates us, stirs our souls & passions, cheers us up when we are sad....keeps us going when we need it.....and creates an idyllic atmosphere for the dancer in all of us to unite with our internal rhythms.

It's priceless and invaluable and one of the greatest gifts we can share with each other.

Thank YOU to the musicians and artists in this community.
From the very bottom of my heart.

Knossos

2006-10-12T01:58:14Z

The release of his first album- Dark Light in the Wake of Silence....really blew me away.

Every dancer has been exposed the the haunting sounds of the Oud.....but Knossos takes the oud and reshapes traditional sounds into a more modern fusion blend.....

One that blended with melodies and electronics captivates the listener and gets inside one's head.....

You're really missing out if you haven't heard his music.
Please take a listen and let him know what you think. Also, please let US know what your think.

Maduro's Shimmer Sustain

2006-10-12T01:07:35Z

There are few albums out that are truer works of art.....that one likes every song on it....
Maduro has done this with his latest release Shimmer Sustain....A most perfect example of fusion bellydance music at its very finest.

I could and have listened to this album for hours every day and it has a perm residence in my cd player of my vehicle.

I would like to hear how others enjoyed this album and which songs are their fav- my fav 's are Akkadian and Nineveh amoung many others.
