Exotic Flavors

I've always been a fan of unique sounds and music from all over the world.  This is one of my favorite Arabic bands the lead singer came out with a solo album, "Azim Ali" But here is an example of the slightly eerie yet soothing sounds of the Middle East that we here in the West aren't exposed to as often. This song is an old song in Uri and Persian about going on a hunt in the old days.  Enjoy!

This by the way would go well with some amazing food from Al-Zaituna in El Paso, or Tazo in Cleveland, or Aladdin's in Youngstown, or a good healthy exercise of Belly Dancing which you can check out more of that on former posts from my mum's blog http://www.floursandfleurs.wordpress.com/

And for some Indian Spice heading over to Chutney in West El Paso, or Indian Garden near University Hospital in Pittsburgh might do the trick.  Or youcan listen to the sounds of Anoushka Shankar, the half sister of perhaps a better known musician, Norah Jones.  And for those of you with a hidden love of the Sitar yes she is Ravi Shankar's daughter.
