Adala Ali Gama and Hassan Saed, Wadi el-Khareet, Egypt-photographed by Zbigniew Kosc © 2000


Gama, my invaluable friend, introduces me to the local
musicians. Everybody around treats them with great respect. In
Wadi el-Khareet , Gama's friend Adala Ali Gama performs a
recital of songs for me with tamboura accompaniment . I
recorded the entire concert which ends abruptly when a string
of the tamboura breaks.
