The story of Belly Bar is the story of an ancient art form inspired by the infectious beats of Middle Eastern rhythms and sensual melodic groves converging with the growing Western search for spiritual sensuality in a world fraught with crass commercialism. The most beautiful of feminine dance arts, the art of bellydance, has inspired an appreciation by music lovers the world over of the depth and magic of music from the Middle East. Inspiring world artists to incorporate this musical language into their own breeding magical new fusions. The Belly Bar CD's are intended to be an exciting new platform to raise the bar for music joining Eastern and Western music just as the Bellydance Superstars have raised the bar for bellydance in general. Both albums, 'Some Like It Hot' and 'Some Like It Cold' provide two moods for the listener to sink into and for the dancer to grove with as they enter the exotic and sensual mystic East. The music is chosen from a deep catalogue acquired from Egypt, Lebanon, Algeria, France, England, Tunisia, and Syria as well as England and the USA. Special tracks have been created specifically for this album. Producer Miles Copeland has sequenced the albums both for the pleasure listening as well as for the dancers in the Bellydance Superstars who listen not only with their ears but with their bodies as they celebrate the beauty of feminine movement.
