Coming Soon! Felahi: The First Year - our first CD, of music recorded over the past year. This section has samples of the music that will be on that album.
This first group of songs is a Complete Tribal Belly Dance Routine.
No Such Thing - as beledi. Melody on jumbush saz.
Artemis - slow Greek 9, melody on jumbush saz.
Inca Road - an ayub with melody on soprano recorder. (TNT uses it for a skirt dance.)
Ramachandra - an Indian 7, with tibetan bells.
All Drum Finale - maqsum with drums. TNT often uses it as a full group final number.
Nasam Alayna El-Hawa - A classic Egyptian piece, slow beledi, lead on jumbush.
Gazelle - A chiftetelli, with melody on alto recorder.
Banat Iskandaria - A classic lively, carbonated ayub, lead on jumbush.

Ma Elee - Arabic song, traditional.
Amira's Cousin - a bolero with guitar that started out as a veil piece.

This next group of samples is using electric guitar with percussion. These are meant to give an idea of mood and guitar texture.
clean - slow chiftetelli, clean guitar tone.
dirty - slow chiftetelli, altered guitar tone with echo. Dark kind of moody atmosphere.
