Zamalek Musicians are a renowned collective known for their spellbinding performances and recordings that pay homage to the rich tradition of Egyptian music and belly dance rhythms. Named after the upscale Cairo district of Zamalek, this group of talented musicians has seamlessly blended traditional instruments and classical Arab tunes with contemporary influences, creating a sound that encapsulates the mystique and cultural heritage of Egypt. Their ability to evoke the spirit of iconic Arabic musicians and eras while providing a fresh take on the genre has earned them a distinguished place in the world of Middle Eastern music.

One of the Zamalek Musicians' most notable projects is their collaborative work with Alla Kushnir, a world-famous belly dancer, which has led to the release of "Alla Kushnir presents Hawanem Al Sharq: Oriental Belly Dance," a celebration of Eastern femininity and dance. Their discography also includes "Belly Dance Around Egypt," which takes listeners on an auditory journey through the various soundscapes of the country, and "From Cairo with Love," a love letter to their home city expressed through melodious compositions. The Zamalek Musicians' "Kalsoumiyat: Tribute to Om Kalsoum" stands as a fitting homage to one of Egypt's most legendary singers, often known as the Star of the East, showcasing their dedication to preserving and revitalizing the legacy of Egypt's musical giants. Through their evocative and stirring performances, Zamalek Musicians invite their audience to experience the soul of Egypt’s past and present.
