New Selection - A Night At Ammar El Sheriyi's Mansion (meeting with the legendary Egyptian blind organist)

 

For my 31th selection, I decided to make you travel into the Egypt of the 70's, with a very special tribute to Ammar El Sheriyi, a blind organist famous for the covers he made of songs from legendary Egyptian musicians, such as Abdel Halim Hafez or Mohammed Abdel Wahab.

Hope you'll like it, don't hesitate to leave some comments !!

Hi dear readers !

For this post we go to the mystical Egypt, with a very famous band back in the 1970's, Salah Ragab and the Cairo Jazz Band !

All the songs of this recently pressed compilation were recorded in Heliopolis Egypt between 1968 and 1973.

Close your eyes, you're on the Nile, hearing the songs of the Pyramids..
