African Tranquility

African Tranquility (1996) more music like this

by Various Artists

African Tranquility is a pleasant sampler of relaxed African pop, but a bit of a disappointment for people interested in musicology. The tracks are gathered from the far corners of the great continent -- Madagascar, Uganda, South Africa and elsewhere -- but you'd never know it by looking at the liner notes. If you want to know the country of ...

A Wish

A Wish (1999) more music like this

by Hamza El Din

Hamza el Din has long enjoyed a reputation as one of the world's great oud players, and the mastery he displays here quickly establishes just why he's so lauded. The virtuosity shown on "Greetings," for example, is a sheer delight, his nimble and thoughtful fingers creating lovely melodies behind the vocals of Shizuru Ohtaka. But it's on "Sunset," ...

Muwashshah [Alula]

Muwashshah [Alula] (2005) more music like this

by Hamza El Din

One of the many excellent albums he's recorded, Muwashshah offers abundant proof that when it comes to Middle Eastern and North African music, Hamza el Din is as impressive a musician as he is a singer. El Din's soulful vocals are something to treasure, but even if he did no singing whatsoever, his oud playing on hypnotic gems like "Assaramessuga, ...

Africa North

Africa North (1999) more music like this

by Various Artists

Africa North spotlights the beauty and longevity of Islamic music. Designed as a conduit to ecstasy, the works on this album feature the sultry but transcendental rhythms of the darbukka drum, highlighted by the oud and ghaita, but also integrate other musical elements, including strings, electronics and other folk instruments. Setona, Hossam ...

Al Oud

Al Oud (1965) more music like this

by Hamza El Din

His second album is similar in tone to his debut, featuring original compositions based on Nubian folk traditions, masterful oud playing, and soothing vocals. Serene and haunting, this was among the first world music recordings to make an international impact. Richie Unterberger, All Music Guide

One of the compilations that came out of that series was Around the World for a Song, which includes African, Middle Eastern and East European sounds, as well as some offerings by Hart himself.
