Voice Of Wilderness
STYE907 · Middle Eastern Percussion · Opher Yisraeli
1:18·113 bpm
Ethnic, WorldArab, Arabic, Belly Dance

A short, brisk solo percussion cue at 113 BPM built from darbuka, dumbek, frame drum and small cymbals, with no melodic or harmonic content. At 1:18 it works as a compact rhythmic insert rather than a full bed, driving forward from the first bar and ending on the groove.

Sunset In Middle East
STYE907 · Middle Eastern Percussion · Opher Yisraeli
2:06·95 bpm
Ethnic, WorldArab, Arabic, Belly Dance

Mid-tempo hand percussion at 95 BPM — dumbek and frame drum with cymbal accents, purely rhythmic and untuned. Its relaxed pulse and two-minute length make it a steady underscore for evening or golden-hour footage rather than an action driver.

Garden Of Flames
STYE907 · Middle Eastern Percussion · Opher Yisraeli
1:29·133 bpm
Ethnic, WorldArab, Arabic, Belly Dance

The fastest cue on the collection at 133 BPM, a fiery darbuka-led workout with frame drum and cymbals pushing hard for 1:28. No melody, no harmony — just an aggressive rhythmic engine for high-heat footage or a percussion layer under other music.

Spirit Of Anatolia
STYE907 · Middle Eastern Percussion · Opher Yisraeli
2:08·123 bpm
Ethnic, WorldArab, Arabic, Belly Dance

Up-tempo Turkish-leaning solo percussion at 123 BPM, combining dumbek, darbuka, frame drum and cymbal work across a full two minutes. Energetic and celebratory without any tonal instruments, so it sits under dialogue or narration easily.

Desert Wind
STYE907 · Middle Eastern Percussion · Opher Yisraeli
2:09·115 bpm
Ethnic, WorldArab, Arabic, Belly Dance

A driving 115 BPM percussion bed of frame drum, dumbek and darbuka with light cymbals, running just over two minutes. Consistently propulsive with no melodic focus, making it a reliable rhythm-only underlay for wide desert or road imagery.

Lost Villagers
STYE907 · Middle Eastern Percussion · Opher Yisraeli
2:01·120 bpm
Ethnic, WorldArab, Arabic, Belly Dance

Solo hand percussion at a steady 120 BPM — darbuka and dumbek patterns with frame drum and cymbal colour, two minutes long. Purposeful and walking-paced, suited to human-scale footage of village and community life rather than spectacle.

Fire Night
STYE907 · Middle Eastern Percussion · Opher Yisraeli
2:10·90 bpm
Ethnic, WorldArab, Arabic, Belly Dance

Slower and heavier at 90 BPM, this dumbek and frame drum piece leans on deep hand-drum strokes with cymbal accents over 2:10. Its measured, ritual pulse suits nocturnal footage and ceremony rather than dance-floor energy.

Bright Horizon
STYE907 · Middle Eastern Percussion · Opher Yisraeli
2:01·97 bpm
Ethnic, WorldArab, Arabic, Belly Dance

An open, mid-tempo 97 BPM percussion cue with darbuka, dumbek, frame drum and bright cymbal detail. Positive in feel by title and pace, working as a two-minute rhythmic bed for optimistic daytime imagery with plenty of room for narration.

New Grounds
STYE907 · Middle Eastern Percussion · Opher Yisraeli
2:07·70 bpm
Ethnic, WorldArab, Arabic, Belly Dance

The slowest cue here at 70 BPM, giving each dumbek and frame drum stroke space to breathe with sparse cymbal touches across just over two minutes. Spacious and contemplative, it functions almost as an atmospheric percussion bed rather than a groove.

Echoes Of Distant Clouds
STYE907 · Middle Eastern Percussion · Opher Yisraeli
2:04·87 bpm
Ethnic, WorldArab, Arabic, Belly Dance

Loping 87 BPM solo percussion — frame drum and dumbek with soft cymbal shimmer, untuned and melody-free across 2:03. The unhurried pace and airy title point to wide, weather-driven imagery and narrated passages.
