Tango from the Golden Age of Egypt
With the establishment of radio and film, a new golden age of music dawned in Egypt. The flourishing film and music industry absorbed influences from all over the world, so Cairo also became the birthplace of an unusual new style: the Arabic tango. It combines the unique texture of Latin America with classical Egyptian music. The distinctive sound of this rich and exciting period of Egyptian music is now brought back to life by Oxford Maqam.
