The northern parts of Africa offers a unique cultural heritage, blending influences from the Middle East, Persia and Arabia with African traditions. Morocco, Tunisia, Algeria, Libya, Egypt and to some degree Sudan and Somalia are countries in that region between the Middle East and the rest of Africa, and blends musical influences and instrumentation with both. Eastern string instruments (bowed and plucked), African percussion and chants are here mixed with acoustic guitars and Persian/Arabian style drones and textures for an exotic combination. Please remember that your music purchase here includes rights for personal listening only. To use this music in any kind of media project such as YouTube, video, game, app, slideshow, in-public play or telephone on-hold play, TV or broadcasting, festivals or ANY other use that is not "personal listening only", you need a separate license for that. That license can be purchased from Shockwave-Sound's publisher, Lynne Publishing.
