Eclipse

by Hamza el Din

Overview

These meditatively paced traditional songs are by a master of Sudanese music. Hamza's deep, smoky voice is accompanied by the oud -- a precursor to the lute -- and by compelling use of a simple Nubian frame drum called the tar. This is a beautiful, even lush recording of El Din's latest oud mastery. ~ Bob Tarte & Myles Boisen
