DESCRIPTION:
Album: Flamenco Arabe 2
Year: 2006

No prizes for guessing this is the second time the renowned Egyptian percussionist has teamed up with a flamenco artist in recent years. Last time it was German Rafa El Tachuela, this time Barcelona-born José Luis Montón, and the two collaborators share song-writing duties on a set of tunes that have been beautifully arranged and produced by Ramzy.

The flamenco guitar of Montón adds subtle shades of sound to the soulful fluidity of the Egyptian's compositions, whereas the Egyptian instruments: nay, qanun, violin, accordion and percussion tend to 'Arabise' the Spaniard's pieces, tilting the balance of the music more towards North Africa than Southern Europe.
