Album Review
This musical tribute to ancient Egypt was originally composed in 1978 for the King Tutankhamun exhibit at the Seattle Art Museum. It was inspired by the artistry of the ancient treasures and the religious symbolism of the Egyptian Book of the Dead, which suggested titles of the compositions. Only traditional Near Eastern instruments were used in making this recording, like the nay, salamiyyah, buzuq, mijwiz, mizmar and others.
Customer Reviews
Ancient Egypt
This album is really nice, its soothing, sounds great, and is good to play during work of sorts. I really recomend this album to anyone that needs something to relax to, or is a fan of world music. Ali Jihad Racy has done an excellent job on this album. I wonder if Egypt's music back in its glory days was as good...
Very Soothing
Ali Jehad Racy uses traditional egyptian instruments to create a magnificent work of art that is extremely soothing. This music is great for soothing the mind and removing stress. Definite relaxing music.
