LAMENCO ARABE 2 - A Captivating Crossover of Middle Eastern Sounds and Passionate Flamenco.
The long awaited follow up to our international best seller Flamenco Arabe released back in January 2003.
Flamenco Arabe 2 is a unique recording by master Egyptian percussionist, composer and arranger Hossam Ramzy (Peter Gabriel, Ricky Martin, Chick Corea, Loreens McKennit, Rober Plant/Jimmy Page) - "Sultan of Swing" Rhythm (UK), and celebrated Spanish flamenco guitarist José Luis Montón - "…a stunningly intuitive musician…" ABC (Spain)
This exhilarating CD fuses pulsating Arab rhythms and percussion with fiery Andalusian flamenco. The result is a captivating and romantic Spanish/Arabian sound.
Recorded in Egypt, Spain and UK, this album crosses all the barriers between the Middle Eastern sounds and the world of Flamenco music, song and dance. It attempts to bring history into the present. Moorish migrations, North African flavours, passionate flamenco with Egyptian tabla, palmas (clapping), oud, nay, guitar, qanun and violin solos that melt the heart.
