Live Concert 15 May 2010
|
We are presenting a whole weekend of the spirit of Egypt. |
The Band
This show presents the people from all walks of life Egypt. Classical music that
touched the hearts of generations past, mixed in with improvised
“Baladi” ( The Urbanized Folklore ) holding the innocence
of the countryside as well as all the lure of the Ghetto.
In this show we will not be trying to make history.
We are actually bringing to you the people who created the
history of Egyptian music from the 20th century.
The band has been lovingly named,
“ The Buena Vista Social Club from Cairo ”….
