Marhaba (Welcome)! Remember those old LP's in your parents' (or even your!) record collection - the ones promising "exotic adventures in far-off lands" and featuring sexy harem girls in skimpy costumes entertaining smiling, hooka-smoking sultans? Perhaps you were never able to get past those harem girls... If not, you may be surprised to learn that you missed out on some pretty great music! Of course, if you did get around to actually listening to the records, you already know how great it is! The late 1950's through the mid-1970's were the heyday of popular recordings of Middle Eastern/Oriental dance (that's "belly dance") music.

This Tribe is dedicated to the celebration of "old school" bellydance music, and was created as an adjunct to my site, Radio Bastet, where you can listen to said music in streaming audio, formatted like a radio program! Let's talk about our favorite LPs and artists, and whatever else may come to mind regarding this music that we all love!
