## Description

Egyptian pop has broken with the Arabic traditions of poetry, monophony and intricate melody, offering a fresh and sometimes controversial outlook. This album surveys the Egyptian music scene, the spiritual home of Arabic music, from Cairo and Alexandria in the North, to Nubia on the Southern borders with Sudan.

    Loved this overall
  

*by B***I on Reviewed in the United States on March 14, 2016*

Loved this overall.  Some of the older recordings are of course not the greatest quality but I think that is a function of the original, not this product.  Wish there was another CD!

    If you like skipping.......

Purchased two.  They skip and I tried it on other players.  Poor quality.

    good, mostly
  

*by G***O on Reviewed in the United States on July 29, 2008*

Some excellent music - the first six tracks are great. I would almost give this five stars - probably 4 1/2 overall - but it starts repeating artists after the first six tracks. We have Amr Diab, Abgham, and the rather obscure Nagat el Saghira all TWICE. There should never be the same artists twice on a rough guide. It's not as if there's a lack of music in Egypt. Besides, there are ommissions; virtually no folk, Arabic classical or Sufi music, and as others have pointed out, no Umm Kalthoum, though I've never heard anything by her. However, Nubian music is represented excellently by good tracks from Ali Hassan Kuban, Mahmoud Fadl and the Cairo Opera orchestra, and Hamza el Din. There's also quite a lot of old music from former stars such as Abdel Hlim Hafez, Mohamed Abdel Wahab, and Warda (and Nagat el Saghira, twice, on slightly old recordings.) And there's alot of pop music, most of which is still pretty traditional.The liner notes are not very helpful or extensive, and the dicography might as well not be there - little of the music is from accesible albums. I don't know WHERE it's from - a lot of tracks are, apparently, from "album unknown."But it's good. If you like Arabic music, or music in general, it's very much recomended.
