Anyone know any African / Exotic pieces?
on: April 08, 2013, 10:25:36 PM
Hi! Lately I've been interested in pieces that sound exotic in a Middle Eastern, almost Egyptian or Arabic taste...would anyone know any piano pieces or composers that have this certain sound or characteristic?

Examples being: Saint-Saen's 5th Piano Concerto, Bartok's Romanian Folk Dances, etc.

Thank you!

What about Saint-Saens' African Fantasy?
