Singing down the Nile 25 Nov 2002
By Pieter HALL OF FAME TOP 500 REVIEWER
Format:Audio CD
Nubian is spoken along the banks of the Nile from Aswan in Egypt down into the Sudan to where the river makes the big bend, but these days Nubian people live in all the big cities of Egypt and Sudan. As a member of the Nilo-Saharan macro-family, it is entirely unrelated to the Arabic spoken by the majority of people of these two countries and has a cultural history going back to the Christian Nubian kingdoms of the Middle Ages. This brings us to this delightful CD on which Kuban, the most popular Nubian singing star, sings in both Arabic and his mother tongue. My favourite track is Sukkar Sukkar Sukkar with its infectious foot-tapping beat, whilst Nouba, (sung entirely in Nubian)is a lovely song about the Nubian homeland along the banks of the Nile. The CD includes a booklet with background info on Kuban and the lyrics to all the songs. I love his music, it's got a very unique flavour not quite the same as most Egyptian or Middle Eastern music. Happy, uplifting and inspiring.

Funky Egypt 5 July 2007
By Pieter HALL OF FAME TOP 500 REVIEWER
Format:Audio CD
The Nubian language is spoken along the banks of the Nile from Aswan in Egypt south into Sudan down to where the river makes the big bend, but these days Nubian people live in all the big cities of Egypt and Sudan. As a member of the Nilo-Saharan macro-family, the language is entirely unrelated to the Arabic spoken by the majority of people of these two countries and has a cultural history going back to the Christian Nubian kingdoms of the Middle Ages. This brings us to this delightful CD on which Kuban, the most popular Nubian singing star, sings in both Arabic and his mother tongue. My favourite track is Sukkar Sukkar Sukkar with its infectious foot-tapping beat, whilst Nouba, (sung entirely in Nubian)is a lovely song about the Nubian homeland along the banks of the Nile.
