About Me

Remember those old LPs in your parents' (or your!) record collection - the ones promising "exotic adventures in far-off lands" and featuring sexy harem girls in skimpy costumes entertaining smiling, hooka-smoking sultans? Perhaps you were never able to get past those harem girls (for one reason or another, heh heh!)... If not, you may be surprised to learn that you missed out on some pretty great music! Of course, if you did get around to actually listening to the records, you already know how great they were! The late 1950's through the early 1980's were the heyday of popular recordings of Middle Eastern/Oriental dance (that's "belly dance") music.
Radio Bastet was born in the spring of 2002 at Live365.com , and now has its own home on the World Wide Web at www.radiobastet.com . Here you will find podcasts of my favorite cuts from my ever-growing collection of "old school" belly dance LPs in radio-show format, for your listening and dancing enjoyment. I hope you will find Radio Bastet informative and entertaining! Thank you so much for joining me in this celebration of vintage belly dance music! Now - Let's dance! Yalla!
