The Sultan's Caravan - Belly Dance To Great Navel Hymns (1976) [Hi-Res]

Belly Dance To Great Navel Music is a 1976 studio album recorded by The Sultan's Caravan at RCA Studios in New York. Produced by Ethel Gabriel for RCA Victor, this record was part of a series of ethnic-flavored dance-music projects designed for a general audience. The album serves as a specialized collection of Turkish, Arabic, and Balkan-inspired instrumental music intended for home or club use. A group of highly accomplished musicians, including pioneer Souren Baronian, collaborated under the direction of arranger Joe Castellon to produce this collection. The personnel involved and the high production quality distinguish the record from other releases in the genre, earning it a reputation as a super-group project. While the album is widely recognized within the discographies of its participants, no dedicated critical reviews or interviews exist for this specific release.
