The second volume in Lyrichord’s series of Arab music albums, released by the American label known for its extensive catalogue of ethnic music and field recordings. Performed by Professors in the Institute of Arabic Music, Cairo, featuring Hassen Ashmawy on kanun, Ahmed El Rashedy on oud, Farouk Amin Zayed, Madgy El Ashmawy, and Wadie El Sayed on nai. Tabla can also be heard, though the performer is uncredited. The album is carefully structured to give a clear understanding of the typical instrumental forms, rhythms, and melodic patterns used in traditional Arab music. The back cover also includes detailed notes on scales and movements, making this a fine introductory yet deeply authentic document of Arabic classical tradition.
