2:56·100 bpm·Dm·1 versions
Hip Hop, EthnicBelly Dancing, Desert, Fun

The fastest cue on the set at 100bpm, pairing a hip hop beat and bass with oud, kamanche and santour over darbuka and dumbek percussion, topped by female vocals. D minor keeps it sultry rather than sunny, and at just under three minutes it works as a full-length bed for movement and spectacle.

Hip Hop, EthnicBelly Dancing, Desert, Fun

The shortest and brightest track here: 95bpm in C major, with female vocals riding a hip hop groove, oud, kamanche and santour over darbuka and dumbek. Its two-minute length makes it a tidy fit for a cut-down promo or a fast, playful montage.

Hip Hop, EthnicBelly Dancing, Desert, Fun

The only cue with both male and female vocals, set in F major at 95bpm and running a full three minutes — the most song-like piece on the album. Oud, kamanche and santour weave over hip hop beat, bass and hand percussion for a warm, flirtatious feel.

Dans Et Bebegim
STYE1005 · Turkish Delight · Chiras Konstantinos, Dimitris Papageorgiou
2:20·95 bpm·Cm·1 versions
Hip Hop, EthnicBelly Dancing, Desert, Middle East

Male lead vocals with ooh-and-ahh background vocals over a 95bpm hip hop beat, bass, oud, kamanche, santour and darbuka/dumbek percussion. C minor and a shorter 2:20 form give it a darker, more driving character than the major-key tracks, with less overt playfulness in the mood set.

3:27·95 bpm·Cm·1 versions
Hip Hop, EthnicBelly Dancing, Desert, Middle East

The longest cue on the album at 3:26, sharing the C minor, 95bpm, male-plus-backing-vocal template with 'Dans Et Bebegim' but with more room to develop. Oud, kamanche and santour lines sit over hip hop beat, bass and layered hand drums; the title's 'black heart' reading suits the darker, brooding end of the record.
