mizmars make me happy

[alonewiththemoon]

I downloaded the Upper Egypt Ensemble's album Mazamir Sahara last night, and it is so, so good I can't stop listening to it.  Nice clean recording, really excellent mizmar and percussion, it's just perfect!  Plus a long version of Sirt al Hob with just mizmars, which you'd think would get old or sound hokey but the musicianship is so superb it works flawlessly.  If you like saidi stuff and mizmars and do not own this album, buy it!
