Saltana

FaroukMohhamed Hassan, Mostafa Sax, Ibrahim el Minyawi and Mamdouh Hashim dedicate this CD to the art of Baladi. At the beggining of 2004, these outstanding musicians who have been friends for 35 years, reunited in Cairo for an exceptional music session, playing their tradition of 'Egyptian Baladi Music', or 'Egyptian Popular Jazz', the music they all grew up with. The outstanding improvisations on accordion, saxophone, kawala and tabla, supported in the most exquisite way by the other musicians, are traditional and modern at the same time. 53 mins, 9 tracks featuring traditional repertoire and new compositions.
