Ali
Hassan Kuban - Real Nubian (Piranha) The
Godfather of Nubian soul returns with "Real Nubian"
to Piranha, who already released his groundbreaking albums
"From Nubia To Cairo" and "Walk Like A Nubian".
This original Piranha selection of Cairo wedding classics
is recorded on location in the mother of all cities, in the
El Araby studio at the westbank of the river Nile. Supported
by Salwa Abou Greisha (well known from her Piranha albums
with Salamat and Mahmoud Fadl) and newcomer Shahin Allan,
Ali Hassan Kuban knows how to prove his point: Black Egypt
is alive kicking and REAL.
