1 Hour Old Cairo | Authentic Egyptian Tarab & Arabic Maqam Music | Oud, Qanun & Ney

Travel back to the atmosphere of old Cairo through an hour of traditional Egyptian-inspired Arabic instrumental music. Inspired by the legendary musical culture of Cairo, Khan el-Khalili and the traditional Egyptian tarab tradition, this journey brings together oud, qanun, ney, Arabic violin, riq and darbuka. The music explores the expressive colors of Bayati, Hijaz and Rast maqam, enriched with microtonal ornamentation, emotional taqsim-style improvisations and the melodic language of Egyptian tarab. Imagine an evening in old Cairo: lanterns glowing in narrow streets, traditional coffee houses coming alive after sunset, the sound of an oud drifting through the bazaar and musicians gathering for a long night of music. Perfect for reading, studying, relaxation, meditation, writing, creative work, sleep and historical ambience. The sound focuses on traditional acoustic instruments, modal melodies and organic musical interaction, with a warm vintage character inspired by old analog recordings. This is an artistic interpretation inspired by the musical heritage of Egypt and old Cairo.
