misleading album title

sedoniaraqs

Excellent music, but the album title is misleading. It implies the music is specifically religious in nature, but it is all secular music. It is excellent music for oriental dance.

Great recordings

Music Lover

I bought this set on CDs several years back and it is great music with great variety. This first one, Vol. 1, is one of my favorites, but I recommend the entire set. Would start in order or accumulate based on the countries you like the most. Also would consider the actual CD set, which when I got it, came in a wooden box with each CD in its own jewel box.
