Del Nilo al Guadalquivir

Nesma't El Nile

The most inspirational pieces to dance either with or without sword and to create mysterious ambient music with an Egyptian flair.	 	
On one hand, we find pieces in the purest Egyptian style, for those of you who enjoy dancing to traditional instruments and full orchestras. On the other, we have explored a fusion of electronic and acoustic music. The result is fabulous and incredibly evocative of sword dance. These pieces will also suit those dancers with a very personal style, who enjoy tribal dance and are very creative on stage.

Born Free

In 2007 Nesma brought to Ammer Sound studio in Cairo some of the best Egyptian musicians to record the music of the most mythical dances created by Mahmoud Reda for the Reda Troupe. The recording sessions produced by Nesma herself were made with the advice of Mahmoud Reda and Farida Fahmy. Moddathir Aboul Wafa worked as music director and made an amazing job to reproduce the arrangement and the feeling of the original music that the Reda Troupe Orchestra used to play life at the performances. This music had never been recorded in studio before. Since 2007 these recordings have been used to perform Mahmoud Reda's dances in shows at Alexandria Library and in Europe. For the first time it is available in the albums released at Nesma Music as Egyptian Folk Dances series. Enjoy.
