El Tanbura

El Tanbura is a collection of veteran Egyptian master musicians, singers, fishermen and philosophers. Their music is driven by the seductive call of the simsimiyya (an ancient harp dating back to the times of the Pharaohs), cautiously revered both for its mesmerising properties and occult origins in ancient exorcism rituals. —Courtesy Calabash Music
