Instrumental Modal Pop of 1970's Egypt

Modal instrumental tracks by Baligh Hamdi, one of the most important Arab composers of the 20th century. He composed music for Umm Kulthum, Abdel Halim Hafez, Sabah, Warda Al-Jazairia and many other Arab singers. This compilation is dedicated to a decade of Hamdi's work, during which he mainly engaged in Western pop music with elements of Arab tradition. In addition, the album features guitar solos by the famous Egyptian guitarist Omar Khorshid and a selection of Indo-Arab compositions on the sitar, representing a fusion of Middle Eastern and Indian music.
