Mondomix,
CD Mention
>>
A collection of songs of the icons and innovators of Nubian music. Driven from their homeland when the Aswan dam flooded a great stretch of the upper Nile that once was the kingdom of Nubia, these musicians hit Egypt's big time as they fled to Cairo, absorbing the vibrant cosmopolitan possibilities of everything from Cuban beats to James Brown. Their sonic roots in village festivities, pentatonic scales, and unique rhythms were transformed by western instruments and urban weddings into these "Nubian Soul Treasures". 04/10/10
