Produced
by Orbita Max, the MYSTERY OF THE NILE music
soundtrack is available as a Spanish import from online
merchant CD
Baby.
The score for MYSTERY OF
THE NILE was inspired by the indigenous music
of the people that live along the Nile. With its rich
history the area includes a unique combination of
African and Middle Eastern styles.
David
Giro and Steve Wood included a wide variety of musicians
to help bring the many sounds of the region, including
singers and instrumentalists, to the IMAX® viewer.
As the journey progresses you
will hear music of Ethiopia performed by such noted
musicians as Guadeneh Gezachew, Kirubel Kebede along
with members of his contemporary Ethiopian group Lasta
Sound. Next as the expedition crosses into Sudan you
will be treated to the beautiful voice of Sudanese
singing star Rasha. Finally as the crew passes through
Egypt you will hear noted Middle Eastern musician
Ali Jihad Racy along with Souhail Kaspar on percussion
and the singing of Ahmed El-Asmer and Woroud Antabil. |
