not really my style, but i'll try to give some quick comments.
i'd think about giving the headers more emphasis, maybe dupe them/enlarge and screen them behind the current ones, maybe with a texture/pattern overlay so that area transitions a little better with the site bg. it looks pretty stark as it stands.
the top of the site looks like it could be condensed a little, maybe more emphasis on the logo?
i'd also look into skinning the music player or making it a little more prominent.
also the nav looks a little out of place, can't tell if it's the type or just that bar in general.
it's pretty solid so far though.

I would think about maybe just leaving "Arabesque" a solid color. No see through bg image or shine. Because everything else seems so busy.
Just my personal opinion though.

Ha! I know, there's nothing I can do.
Maybe I should hang out strip clubs and design sites and banners for strippers so that I get paid with...wait!*checks yellow pages for clubs nearby...

it's a bit busy but not a bad layout.
the only real issue i have is there is so much height from the top of the page to the top of the 'biography' text header.. then there is a large height gap between the header and text.
on a 20" widescreen i have to scroll down on the page to get to the real guts.
i'd tighten things up a bit and shrink the height.
nice start though.

680-odd kb of image files and flash and THEN a high-bitstream mp3 file? Thank goodness everyone has broadband and is happy to sacrifice their connection for a few seconds for your site, eh?
It's not really my style (i'm a middle class white guy in london ;) but i guess it's looking quite good - i would suggest treating the photos a bit more - give them a touch more vibrancy and contrast and bring the glowing elements from the header logo more into play.
If you're going to 'muss-up' the photos with vintage floral motifs, I'd suggest going for it a bit more - the stray white flush on his arm seems a bit weak.
You really need to tighten up your layout - the top 430pixels (before the text starts) contain very little detail or information and as others have said - your mp3 doesn't stand out, whilst your nav does - but for the wrong reason - it just doesn't quite fit (it's a blemish of web2.0 in an otherwise urban scheme).
'sLooking good - just make sure you consider optimising your files though!
Shalom!
