4.0 out of 5 stars Legendary voice of Nubia, 10 Mar 2003
Ali Hassan Kuban was born in Nubia, where Egypt meets Africa, and spent most of his life surrounded by musicians in the Nubian enclaves of Cairo.

That's only half the story though. In the fifties, he was playing with black jazz musicians from Harlem. In the nineties he was touring the world. Throughout his long career he worked with musicians of many styles and nationalities, while always retaining his Nubian roots. Despite Kuban's diverse influences and his easy absorption of Western instruments into his music, the earthy, insistent, mesmerising rhythms of Nubia remain there like bedrock.

Kuban must have recorded many of these tracks when he was well into his sixties, and yet they have an energy and vitality that will put a smile on anyone's face. This isn't one of those CDs that you buy after hearing one terrific track (probably Henna or Habibi in this case) and then feel let down by a dull series of mediocre make-weights. Virtually every track's a winner.

This is a great party CD for anyone into Middle Eastern and / or African music and dance. Even if you're not, I'd give it a go. If you are physically able to get up and dance, I guarantee that you will.
