Modal Instrumental Pop of 1970s Egypt

Restocked double LP with a tip - on gatefold jacket. Sublime Frequencies presents an essential compilation from 1970s Egypt, curated by Hisham Mayet. It features modal instrumental tracks by Baligh Hamdi, a 20th - century Arabic music legend who wrote for icons like Umm Kalthum. The Diamond Orchestra, with stars like Omar Khorshid on guitar, brings Hamdi's vision of modernized Arabic music to life. This compilation captures a unique era of Hamdi's career, blending Eastern - tinged jazz, orchestral noir, and Indo - Arabic sounds. It's a showcase of the hippest Middle Eastern music from the late 1960s to the 1970s, complete with extensive liner notes and rare photos by Hisham Mayet.
