Musicians Of The Nile

This renowned group, active and internationally known for over a quarter-century, act as both ambassadors and preservationists of Egyptian Gypsy culture. Alternately soothing and abrasive, their recordings are given faithful, unadulterated production without any real softened edges. Trance-like hand-percussion rhythms, nasal double-reed drones, peaceful wooden flute melodies, and intense vocals are the main ingredients in this stirring music.
