El Amar, released in 2000 by the prolific Egyptian percussionist and bandleader, Hossam Ramzy, features quarter tone piano accordion virtuoso, Mohsen Allaam. Serious belly dancing music here, with terrifically elaborate rhythms and lines. Ramzy's arrangements tend to keep the lead tossed around from instrument to instrument, but Mohsen Allaam does get to take the extended lead on a couple of tracks. In particular, Habibi Baladi, We Zay El Amar is a long and smoldering performance.
