Bio / Background
The score for MYSTERY OF THE NILE was inspired by the indigenous music of the people that live along the Nile. With its rich history the area includes a unique combination of African and Middle Eastern styles.
David Giro and Steve Wood included a wide variety of musicians to help bring the many sounds of the region, including singers and instrumentalists, to the IMAX® viewer.
As the journey progresses you will hear music of Ethiopia performed by such noted musicians as Guadeneh Gezachew, Kirubel Kebede along with members of his contemporary Ethiopian group Lasta Sound. Next as the expedition crosses into Sudan you will be treated to the beautiful voice of Sudanese singing star Rasha. Finally as the crew passes through Egypt you will hear noted Middle Eastern musician Ali Jihad Racy along with Souhail Kaspar on percussion and the singing of Ahmed El-Asmer and Woroud Antabil.
