Modern
Kairo By Night has built a repertoire of Mid-Eastern and North African music ranging from the sophisticated music of the Egyptian Caberet to the earthy folk styles of the Maghreb, from modern Arabic popular music to original compositions and improvisational styles using traditional quarter-tone maqams.
Some of the pieces on this recording have unusual time signatures- a point expanded on at length by group leader- Dave Weisenberg, in the cover notes.
