About this release
Indo-Arabic Variations brings together Egyptian composer Baligh Hamdi and Indian sitar player Magid Khan. Directed by Hamdi, the recording pairs Khan with musicians from Abdel Halim Hafez's orchestra to reinterpret the composer's work through a meeting of Indian and Egyptian traditions.
Sitar and tabla sit alongside arghoul, ney and other Arabic instruments across six pieces. Released on vinyl by Altercat, the album offers another perspective on a composer closely associated with singers including Umm Kulthum, Warda and Sabah, and his continuing interest in expanding the possibilities of Arabic music.
