1LP Vinyl – WWSLP95

HIGHLY SOUGHT-AFTER ARABIC CULT CLASSIC BY LEGENDARY EGYPTIAN MUSICIAN AMMAR EL SHEREI, RELEASED ON SOUTELPHAN IN 1976 AND REISSUED ON VINYL FOR THE FIRST TIME

Wewantsounds is delighted to announce the reissue of Ammar El Sherei's sought-after instrumental album “Music From The East” from 1976. Here, the iconic Egyptian musician and composer revisits seven classic compositions by another Egyptian legend, Mohamed Abdel Wahab, in his own hypnotic way. Mixing Arabic music with funky arrangements and electric keyboard experimentations, the album is a perfect showcase for El Sherei's artistry. Curated and annotated by Lebanese-born Arabic music expert Mario Choueiry from Institut du Monde Arabe in Paris, this reissue has been newly remastered and comes with original Soutelphan artwork.
