I used to like Eddie Kochek a lot too. But after awhile his music all started to sound the same.

He and George Abdo developed what they called the Amer-Arab sound that was wildly popular in the '60's and became the "sound" of Belly Dance. They used traditional tunes but arranged them to be played with western instruments.

Now I prefer music from the Middle Eastern Countries themselves.
