Özel Türkbas - How to make your husband a sultan (1969)

Özel Türkbas - How to make your husband a sultan 

   Oh I know what you might be thinking right about now..........this dude is into some pretty crazy stuff and now we are adding belly dancing to the list ?   Well let me put you all at ease........I am in this one only for the music (and sheepishly perhaps the cover art!).  

  Traditional Turkish music like this gem I guarantee will put you into a trance........crazy exotic sounds and some fantastic hand percussion all wrapped up under a toga with an Indian carpet!  

This music may best be enjoyed while relaxing by the pool with a spaceage cocktail in hand.  Musicans featured on this album are awesome.....you will hear clarinet, drums, table, bass, piano , kanun , violin and even one track sung by Özel herself.

   The opening track Özel's Dance Music is a hypnotic trance like epic song of 17:35 which I guarantee will put you in orbit !   This is not a cheezy album of silly belly dance music but instead is a very cool trippy album that is pure fun.



So why not get your wife to put on the belly Dancing outfit , get out the finger cymbols and put this album on for a while......i think this might be a better solution than those blue pills !

Album also comes with a fantastic (and completely hillarious) step-by-step booklet with photographs. 

hypnotic rhythms and some very psychy songs.
