    <summary type="html">&lt;div&gt;Hi Folks,
&lt;br/&gt;We recently released a debut album. It's a mix of electronic and arabian styles. We're hoping it might appeal to the tribal and belly dance community, and also people that are into this sort of vibe and music. Please feel free to have a listen on myspace where we have four full tracks available to listen online.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;   http://www.myspace.com/nomadiqa
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;It would also be great to promote it through the network of tribal and/or belly dance teachers who might be interested to sell it at a class or bazaar. We can offer it at wholesale prices with plenty of capacity for the seller to make a decent profit on top of the wholesale price.   
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Please contact info@nomadiqa.com for further details.  Sorry for the self promotion.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Hope to hear from you.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Many thanks,
&lt;br/&gt;
