ECHOES OF THE NILE:
AN AUDIO DOCUMENTARY BY ZENA ALI
"Echoes of the Nile" is an audio documentary that explores the tale of Egyptian music. How the sounds and lyrics of this great civilization has evolved and changed throughout the course of years. The connection between the past and the present of Egyptian culture, especially vitalized in today's musical instruments, are beyond fascinating to the ear. Listening to this audio documentary, you go into a tuneful voyage, starting from the musical cultures located in the Delta of the Nile and the Red Sea of Egypt, all the way down to Upper Egypt. Each sound and harmony you get to hear from each region, tells the unique story of its people and history.
