Nancy Mounir’s mixtape

Jennifer Lucy Allan shares a mixtape from Egyptian multi-instrumentalist, arranger and composer Nancy Mounir.

Jennifer Lucy Allan shares a mixtape from Cairo-based arranger and composer Nancy Mounir. Mounir plays a range of instruments, including violin, piano, bass, theremin, and the traditional Egyptian bamboo flute called the kawala. Her debut album Nozhet El Nofous, which translates to Promenade of the Souls, explores the microtonality and non-metered rhythms of early 20th-century Egypt and melds archival recordings of famous Egyptian singers with her own ambient arrangements.

Elsewhere in the show, the sparse plucked sounds of Chinese court music from the Tang Dynasty, and caustic electronics from Finnish producer Vladislav Delay, capturing his anxiety and sensory overload when returning to the urban from the respite of the wilderness.
