EFTEKASAT

Eftekasat is probably the most famous Jazz, or rather Oriental Jazz, band in Egypt. The band was established in 2001 and in 2002 started to play live. Through their live performances they became known and appreciated by a wide public, including many expatriates. This brought them a grant to produce a record in 2006, Mouled Sidi El-Latini (The Latin Dervish). Their live act is really good and I am sure you will not be disappointed.

You can listen to some of their songs in stream at their myspace page http://us.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=user.viewprofile&friendID=146975510
