Phil Thornton & Hossam Ramzy - Eternal Egypt (Repost) (1996)

“

"Two of the world's most highly acclaimed musicians have joined souls to create a tremendously majestic album that evokes all the splendour of this ancient land. Exotic, stirring rhythms interweave with visionary music to provide an outstanding, hypnotic, and wholly captivating recording." ~holisticpage.com "Hossam Ramzy is one of the premier percussionists of the Middle-Eastern style. His work has done more to bring the ancient rhythms of the desert to the western world than any other artist. Phil Thornton brings his trance-like melodic music to this mix to create a fusion of new-age and old-age music. This work, and the music which inspired it, was made for meditative dance, movement and worship. In fact, the zaar, a ritual dance featured on the CD, can go on for many hours, until the dancers drop down exhausted. Most of the drum rhythms come from the "Sha'abi", one of the oldest styles of folk dancing in Egypt." ~amazon.com
