Midwest Record, CD Review >>
So you get these three cats that back up Shakira and Beyonce all pissed off that contemporary music is nothing but half naked women shaking it to bad music. They are locals, but they got in touch with their inner Egyptian to come with a set that honors Egyptian songwriters that are pretty much their Gershwins etc. These guys wrote the major Egyptian hits for their grandfather’s generation and never got their due until now. Imagine a Diana Krall tribute to Peggy Lee, Egypt style, and you have what’s going on here. A fun treat for world beaters looking for that new thing, even if they have to reach into the past to get it. Certainly a well played set that offers some new musical food for thought.
