Beja Power! Electric Soul & Brass from Sudan's Red Sea

“These six tracks contain living melodies that span millennia, instrumental documents of a rich history that survives. At the sonic heart of this Beja blues is a truly unique instrument that Noori created from a scrap yard guitar neck and a vintage four-string tambour. This is not just a historical diary entry, this is protest music. Historians suggest the Beja may be among the living descendants of Ancient Egypt and the Kingdom of Kush.” - BBC
