4 out of 5 stars Bad ..........2003-04-08

in an attempt to expand my musical horizions, i have been buying cds in the Explorer Series. This is one of my favorites. It is very mellow and very powerful, it comes highly recommended.

5 out of 5 stars Hard to put your finger on........2002-10-30

After hearing a review of the Explorer series on NPR, I decided to look at the CDs and this is the one I chose to order. I was not disappointed. It is a very mellow CD that is quite unlike anything else in my collection. Listening to it is almost like meditating...a religious experience.

5 out of 5 stars Nubia Revisted.......2002-10-15

This recently re-released CD, formerly available under the title "Escalay: the Water Wheel" features three of Hamza el-Din's greatest performances. Drawing firmly upon his lively and exotic Nubian background, Hamza weaves it together with his natural gift for playing the oud (an istrument of Arab rather than Nubian origin). This CD is unlike anything you have ever heard before. Although there are many similarities with other Middle Eastern and African styles (due to shared history and cultures from Egypt to Ethiopia) it is still unique and beautiful. Check it out.
