Music reviews of Rough Guide to the Music of Egypt
Music Review: the music of Egypt
Rating: 5 Stars
Egypt is well known for its modern pop music. Artists from all over the Arab world come to Egypt - Natacha Atlas, Samira Said, Hamid al Shaeri, Fatma Zidan, Warda and others come from places like Britain, Morocco, Libya, Saudi Arabia and Algeria originally, but Cairo is the center of the Arabic music industry, and in some ways they are all Egyptian artists. Egyptian pop does borrow from western pop, but it uses this to create unique music of its own, often using Arabic strings and instruments. This Rough Guide represents this style well, with the incredibly popular Amr Diab represented with two tracks of his own, as well as the pop star Angham. Nagat el Saghira, with earlier recordings, is also represented with two tracks. This is unnecessary: instead they could have shown more artists. There should never be the same person twice on a compilation like this, but that's okay.
This CD also shows the Nubian style, with the oud and vocals of Hamza el Din, the percussion of Mahmoud Fadl, the fiery, relentless band rhythms of Ali Hasan Kuban, and the experimental fusion of Mohamed Mounir. There are a number of old recordings on this CD as well, showing the popular music of earlier times.
All in all this is well worth it if you're interested in Arabic music. Other worthwhile purchases are the Rough Guides to Morocco and Sudan.
