Bay city shimmy available for the first time as a download. This is the original version taken from the compilation album 'The beginners guide to bellydance'.
A unique collaboration featuring some of the worlds most highly respected musicians.
This project is an exploration in music featuring some of the artists Hossam Ramzy has come to love and be inspired by, including Billy Cobham, A.R. Rahman, Omar Faruk Tekbilek, Manu Katché, Joji Hirota, Phil Thornton and many others.
Rock the Tabla is a highly creative fusion of styles with a vast and multifaceted layer of depth and colour. All of course with that inevitable swing you would expect from Egypt's Ambassador of Rhythm.

Happy New Year!
This is the first update of this site in over a year ....
2008 ended up being quite a distraction !!
However it was also an exciting year, with a new album almost ready for release.
A real mix of influences with a strong bellydancing theme.
I have tried to create a range of tunes aimed at a variety of dance styles.
ATS, traditional, house and tribal fusion for example.....
