The Sun Ra Arkestra Meets Salah Ragab in Egypt is a groundbreaking collaboration that brings together the legendary Sun Ra Arkestra with pioneering Egyptian jazz drummer Salah Ragab and the Cairo Jazz Band. Originally released in 1983, this album beautifully blends Sun Ra's adventurous cosmic jazz with vibrant Middle Eastern rhythms and instrumentation, creating a truly unique fusion of sounds and cultures.
Now officially reissued by Strut and remastered for the first time, this edition features previously unseen photos, original artwork, and new liner notes for deeper insight into this remarkable musical meeting. It's a must-hear document of two visionary jazz traditions converging, capturing both the accessibility and boundary-pushing spirit that define Sun Ra’s historic Egypt recordings.
