SunDance - Omar Kamel
The two albums Sundance and Moonrise were designed to work as catchy danceable world-music with Oriental, Latin, and Asian influences...
Psalms - Khaled Jubran
Is oriental music a “Tarab” dedicated servant by definition? Is it really doomed to express only “ecstatic joy” or “devastating sorrow”?
Info: Omar Kamel is a well-traveled contemporary musician from Egypt. His multi-cultural background can be seen in the diversity of music he’s written, composed, and produced. It’s been said that it would be an injustice to pin him down to one genre - he has produced world-dance instrumentals, electronic pieces, alt-pop songs in English.
Omar Kamel works as a writer, a musician, a freelance video director, graphic designer, and photographer.
Omar is now preparing to release his first album of Arabic songs, provisionally titled 'Mamnou3 El Initizar'. The tracklist so far includes the tracks 'Shafshaq', 'El Wa7sh El Motamadin', 'Be3eed', 'Ghali', 'Tadrib', and a few other tracks :)
Previous to this, Omar has released three retail albums (Shabaka, SunDance, & MoonRise) and two online collections - the freely downloadable electronic album titled "A Fish Called Valis" (under the name The Pink Beam Consortium) and "SeptiC", and album of English Rock/Pop/Alternative tracks (under the bandname GoldFish Euphoria).
He has done work in social awareness and is currently working on various musical projects as well as developing scripts for television & cinema productions.
