The Players
Many of the best international touring musicians reappear in different
guises. To give just one example, both Abdel Gadir Salim's Merdoum Kings and the
Abdel Aziz el Mubarak
Orchestra feature violinist Mohammed Abdallah Mohammediya,
bass-player Nasir Gad Karim, accordionist AbdelBagi
Hamoda and sax player Hamid Osman. They and other familiar
names have turned up backing Balabil, Hussein Shendi
and Kabli.
