Ilyas,Mohamed Taarab CD

2009 release, an album that will put Zanzibar on the musical map, a full-blown production recorded at the magnificent Sauti za Zanzibar studio by the 16 piece Noyota Zameremeta Orchestra of Zanzibar. A musical and lyrical storm, incorporating the strong percussive elements of the African influence with the powerful strings from the Egyptian roots of the music and combining both cultures in spontaneous, relaxed, melodic vocals. Chitu-Taku.
