▓████▓▌ Hamza el Din has long enjoyed a reputation as one ▓▌
▓████▓▌ of the world's great oud players, and the mastery ▓▌
▓████▓▌ he displays here quickly establishes just why he's ▓▌
▓████▓▌ so lauded. The virtuosity shown on "Greetings," for ▓▌
▓████▓▌ example, is a sheer delight, his nimble and ▓▌
▓████▓▌ thoughtful fingers creating lovely melodies behind ▓▌
▓████▓▌ the vocals of Shizuru Ohtaka. But it's on "Sunset," ▓▌
▓████▓▌ which is variations on a theme by Riad el Sumbati, ▓▌
▓████▓▌ that the power of his playing truly begins to ▓▌
▓████▓▌ shine. Completely solo, he works in the maqam, or ▓▌
▓████▓▌ scale, building his work. However, he's not afraid ▓▌
▓████▓▌ to leave his oud behind, and just use rhythm, as he ▓▌
▓████▓▌ does on "Nagrishad," where the only instruments are ▓▌
▓████▓▌ beaten and the vocal carries the only melody. But ▓▌
▓████▓▌ the centerpiece is the title track, a gorgeous song ▓▌
▓████▓▌ graced by the cello of Joan Jeanrenaud and W.A. ▓▌
▓████▓▌ Mathieu's piano, which, with their Western tunings, ▓▌
▓████▓▌ bring the piece to a place that's not completely of ▓▌
▓████▓▌ el Din's Nubian homeland. It's a lovely work whose ▓▌
▓████▓▌ themes resonate and last long after the CD, and it ▓▌
▓████▓▌ might well be the most accessible -- at least to ▓▌
▓████▓▌ Western ears -- music that el Din's composed in a ▓▌
▓████▓▌ long career. (from allmusic.com) ▓▌
▓████▓▌ ▓▌
▓████▓▌ One of the first African musicians to gain ▓▌
▓████▓▌ widespread international recognition, Hamza El Din ▓▌
▓████▓▌ is a Sudanese master of the oud, or the fretless ▓▌
▓████▓▌ lute. Western listeners are as likely as not to ▓▌
▓████▓▌ have been exposed to his work via the Grateful ▓▌
▓████▓▌ Dead, who played with him on-stage occasionally. ▓▌
▓████▓▌ (El Din also helped arrange the Dead's tour of ▓▌
▓████▓▌ Egypt.) He played an integral role in modernizing ▓▌
▓████▓▌ Nubian music, using his work to both evoke and tell ▓▌
▓████▓▌ stories of Nubian life. ▓▌
▓████▓▌ El Din was originally trained to be an engineer, ▓▌
▓████▓▌ but changed direction and enrolled in the Middle ▓▌
▓████▓▌ Eastern School of Music, where he began to compose ▓▌
▓████▓▌ his own songs. On a fellowship to study Western ▓▌
▓████▓▌ classical music in Rome, he met American Gino ▓▌
▓████▓▌ Foreman, who exposed Hamza's work to Joan Baez and ▓▌
▓████▓▌ Bob Dylan. This resulted in a contract with ▓▌
▓████▓▌ Vanguard. His mid-'60s debut, Al Oud ù Instrumental ▓▌
▓████▓▌ and Vocal Music From Nubia, was one of the first ▓▌
▓████▓▌ "world music" recordings to achieve wide exposure ▓▌
▓████▓▌ in the West. ▓▌
▓████▓▌ ▓▌
▓████▓▌ In the second half of the 1960s, El Din spent much ▓▌
▓████▓▌ of his time in America, living in guitarist Sandy ▓▌
▓████▓▌ Bull's apartment for a while. Taking a series of ▓▌
▓████▓▌ teaching positions in various American locations, ▓▌
▓████▓▌ he also found time to record a Nonesuch album in ▓▌
▓████▓▌ 1968, Escalay, that is considered one of the best ▓▌
▓████▓▌ documents of Nubian music. Eclipse is his most ▓▌
▓████▓▌ notable post-Escalay record, raising his profile in ▓▌
▓████▓▌ the U.S. when it was reissued on CD by Rykodisc. ▓▌
