Also remember that many Arabic tapes and cds are available for hire from local libraries for a small fee. In London you can visit Arab communities eg Edgware Road, Bayswater, Gloucester Road/Earls Court and they normally let you listen before you buy. There are also major stores eg Virgin and EMI that have large World Music sections that you can browse through. See here for details of stockists

Translations of some of our songs will soon be provided but for a more comprehensive list contact Shira.
