Music reviews of Sabla Tolo: Journeys into Pure Egyptian Percussion
Music Review: NOTHING BUT PERCUSSION
Rating: 5 Stars
HOSSAM RAMZY IS A MASTER OF PLAYING NATIVE MIDDLE EASTERN PERCUSSION INSTRUMENTS. THIS WHOLE CD IS ALL PERCUSSION, NO HORNS, STRIINGS, OR ANYTHING ELSE. IT IS RAW, PRIMITIVE MUSIC, AND IT IS GREAT. I AM NOT A BELLY DANCER, SO I DON'T KLNOW HOW IT STACKS UP AGAINST OTHER BELLY DANCING MUSIC, BUT I ENJOY HEARING THIS MUSIC. IT IS ONE OF MY FAVORITES TO LISTEN TO WHEN I AM DOING CARDIO EXERCISE OR RUNNING, IT REALLY GETS YOU MOVING. I WISH I HAD A FEZ TO WEAR WHEN I HEAR THIS STUFF.
Description of Sabla Tolo: Journeys into Pure Egyptian Percussion
If you think belly-dancing music is simple, this CD from Cairo-born percussionist Hossam Ramzy, the leader of Pharaoh's Egyptian Ensemble (he also toured with Robert Plant and Debbie Harry), will correct that assumption. Ramzy is a master of the darbouka, the Egyptian version of the tabla; the title of this CD is actually an inverted play on words for "solo tabla." It contains about 45 minutes of intricate and ingenious pre-Islamic, Arabic, and world-beat-influenced solos and rhythms. With other percussion instruments supporting the darbouka, Ramzy creates a fresh, fertile crescent of sound stretching from the Nile to the Middle East, Morocco, and beyond. The track "Brazilian Pearls" features samba-fied grooves thrown in for good measure. An informative booklet details the rhythms of these Saharan syncopations, from "West Naima (Naima's Hip)" to "Samya's Solo." With stealth and skill, Hossam Ramzy shows us the legacy of his land through the belly dancer's hypnotic hips. --Eugene Holley Jr.General CDs
