What the CD says:
El Tanbura are a collective of veteran Egyptian master musicians, singers, fishermen and philosophers. Since 1989 they have been custodians to some of Egypt's oldest folk melodies at their home in Port Said, the Mediterranean gateway to the Suez Canal. Their music is driven by the seductive call of the Simsimiyya - an ancient lyre dating back to the times of the Pharoahs. (Michael Whitewood) www.eltanbura.com
