Subject: RE: What are the oldest surviving tunes?

Forget the old Egyptian stuff. The papryii have no musical scores.
Try some good modern Egyptian musicians.
Suggestion: Jazayer plus Ali Jihad Racy (Live), cd from Warners.
Amazon says it ranks 526102 in sales- if it is ranked that low, it is bound to be good!
Racy plays the Lebanese buzuk, a stringed instrument cf. bouzouki.
