From the two towering pillars of the Arab World’s Tarab, Om Kalsoum & Mohamed Abdel Wahab, comes another cult classic of Wa Maret El Ayam.

With an iconic prelude featuring one of Abdel-Wahab’s quintessential fusions, this time a Libyan folk melody, Souma records bring a long-awaited remastering of the original studio version. 

Entrancing, magnetic and transcendental all at once.

Cha Cha On The Nile - oriental

A mix of latin and jazz tinged tracks from Egyptian 45s. Some deep, some corny, all fun. Cairo Calling #1 is already from 10 years ago, so a sequal was long due!

Here is nr1 of this: https://soundcloud.com/milansound/cairo-calling-1

فرقة طيبة - الدنيا صغيرة Tibba Band

Ziad Rahbani- Prelude

One of the most unique allround popartists of the Arab 80’s and early 90’s is the beautiful Simone. Her songs are very light and happy! She covered a lot of western popsongs in Arabic, but her original songs are very cool as well! This taxi song is an Arabic cover of the song Frankie by Sister Sledge, but she didn’t use the instrumental of that song. The instruments were re-produced which gave it a totally different feel. This song has a higher pitch than the Sister Sledge original that better suits Simone’s voice. This song feels very youthfull, that although it’s from ’87 I feel like it is very contemporary. It’s a piece about a girl who is trying to stop a taxi so she won’t be late for her date. Timeless!

SOUMA RECORDS (Label)

With a firm appetite for timeless and vibrant music from all corners of the world, the Souma catalogue reveals the fascination for unearthed repertories, obscure artists and less explored urban and rural music cultures.  

Souma was the nickname of the famous Egyptian singer Umm Kulthum, who devoted her life to music and always stood strong in a world of men. Souma is the symbol of a great era of Arabic music. The label took off two years ago, formerly being part of Radio Martiko. Souma’s first release was the long-awaited rare soundtrack compilation of Egyptian 70s star keyboard player Hany Mehanna.
