“The Songs of Sayyed Darweesh: Soul of a People”The Songs of Sayyed Darweesh: Soul of a People," was recorded in 2004 and will be released in early 2005. Fifteen musicians from the U.S. and Middle East are featured on the recording: Kareem Roustom, ‘ud, Hicham Chami, qanun; Hanna Khoury and Sami Abu Shumays, violin; Rachid Chami, viola; Mohannad Al-Zabadi, cello; Miles Jay, upright bass; Nikolai Ruskin, ney, Maryem Hassan Tollar, Jwana Harfouch, Lana Khalaf, Adel Mansour, Albert Agha, and Michael Kamel, vocals; Karim Nagi Mohammed, riqq. This CD will fill a unique niche in the Arabic music market, appealing to multiple audiences: Arabs and Arab-Americans who already know and love the music; ethnomusicologists and other academics; and members of the general public who enjoy "world music." “Promises: Oriental Classical Music”This CD is a tribute to the rich tradition of Oriental instrumental music. In selecting the compositions for this CD, I chose works in classical genres (Bashrafs, Sama’is, Longahs) by renowned composers from various schools of music (Turkish, Egyptian, Armenian and Lebanese). This CD is a direct result of a collaboration that had its genesis at Simon Shaheen’s Arabic Music Retreat, an annual gathering of people passionately interested in preserving traditional Oriental music. "Promises: Oriental Classical Music" was released in February 2003. ::
