Visual Melodies ®™ [ available EXCLUSIVELY from the Ramzy Music Store ]
Having toured the world in 2003, teaching and performing choreographies to Hossam's music, Serena and Hossam decided to create a visual recording of these dance routines. They went to Cairo, chose the best location and setting for such special endeavour "The Guyer Anderson Museum" in the heart of "Old Cairo". Using the latest in digital video recording equipment, with the best team of cinematographers, lighting technicians, etidtors and set designers in Egypt, Serena danced to : "Sanatein Wana Hayel Feek" from El Amar (EUCD 1589) featuring Mohsen Allaam on Accordion, "Bey-Olouly Tooby" from the same CD & "We Maly Bass" from "Qanun El Tarab" (EUCD 1697) featuring Prof. Maged Sorour on Qanun. The Cairo sessions were directed by Mr. Mostafa Yehya.

The result is a high quality, entertaining & educational DVD . They named it VISUAL MELODIES ®™ . Giving you these three compositions in an elegant and aesthetic creative interpretation, performed by the world's favourite dancer.. Serena Ramzy.

VISUAL MELODIES ®™ is the dawn of a new era in Egyptian Dance Entertainment & Educational DVDs. We are in the process of making several more to Hossam's music, choreographing and presenting as many as 4 songs from each of his CD's in this very same way. With “YOU”, the "DANCER" in mind.

Master of the Arabian Flute - Mohamed Naiem
A perfect gift for the soul
If the sunset over the Nile’s golden water could be transcribed into sound it will be the magic that Mohamed Naiem (who counts among the best Egyptian Nay and Kawala players) brings to us through this new collaboration (Master of the Arabian Flute) with Egypt’s Ambassador of Rhythm, Hossam Ramzy. This album also features the amazing keyboard player, Osama Al Hendy, one of Hossam’s protégées and world-renowned composer and arranger. This album features the three of them, Mohammed, Hossam & Osama in an album that was composed in a musical heaven.

Soft, haunting melodies that take us on a dreamy journey to the most far-away desert of our darkest dreams and later on to the evergreen oasis in our hearts.
Gentle songs that transform Arabian warm nights under Egyptian lonely skies into magic carpets, on which we can travel to the furthest stars in the long forgotten galaxy of memories. Each tune is an inspiration full of equally clear, digitally recorded and mastered sounds that reach the deepest feelings of the human spirit.

Once again Hossam brings us a wonderful world where Nay and Kawala come alive and become the protagonists of fantasies.

A beautiful collection of enchanting and fascinating atmospheric music.
