Funky Egypt,
By
This review is from: From Nubia to Cairo (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. 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 Egyptian or Middle Eastern music. Happy, uplifting and inspiring.

A great CD, full of life.,
By A Customer - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: From Nubia to Cairo (Audio CD)
I got this CD just because, I did not really expect to like it but something drew me to it. I was not dissappointed. The CD is a lot of fun, Hassan's music is full of life. It gives you a taste of Egypt in the comfort of your own home. I would definitely get this if you are looking for something that is different and upbeat. PS. It can even make for some REALLY different and yet fun dance music :)

"Hey, put in the Happy CD!",
By A Customer - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: From Nubia to Cairo (Audio CD)
From Nubia to Cairo is one of my favorite CD's. The opening track "Sugar Sugar Sugar" is guaranteed to lift your mood and make you smile. This is the music of celebration! It is music for weddings, dancing, and happiness.
