Hamza El Din: Eclipse
|
|
Item Number: HRT15001
|
Eclipse,
Hamza El Din’s fourth album overall, was originally released in 1978
and reissued as part of “THE WORLD” series (now part of the Mickey Hart Collection made available by Smithsonian Folkways). El Din (1929-2006), a pioneering oud
(the short-necked, pear-shaped Arabian lute) player, singer, and
composer from the Sudan brought pleasures and subtleties of Arab music
and Nubian folk tradition to new audiences. His work was particularly
noteworthy given ancient Nubia’s then-impending drowning in the
aftermath of the construction of the High Dam at Aswan. El Din performs oud, tar
(a single-skinned frame drum), vocals, and hand claps on tracks ranging
from a percussive Nubian wedding song to a traditional Moorish
classical piece for teaching voice. Year of Recording
1988
