In about a month we are kicking off our summer season of performing. I am in need of some new musical inspiration for solos.. What are some of your favorite Middle Eastern musicians/groups/artists for dancing? My dancing style is rather mixed up with heavier influences of Caberet, Egyptian, and Tribal, but there is definitely some other stuff in there. So I'm open to a lot of music styles.

    For *very* Egyptian: Upper Egypt Ensemble, Oum Kalthoum, Hossam Ramzy. Outside of Egypt, but still ME: Omar Souleyman, Fairuz, Natacha Atlas, Niyaz, Omar Faruk Tekilek.

    Um, India: I really love the Langas & Manganiars Rajasthan folk series.
