Mahmoud Fadl محمود فضل

Born in 1955, Mahmoud Fadl is an Egyptian percussionist descendant of a Nubian family rooted in the griot culture of the Battikol tribe. His family was uprooted from the land of origin following the construction of the dam and Mahmoud spent his youth between the city of Aswan and Cairo. A frequent visitor to the city cinema, he was fascinated by that world of songs and dances that he soon began to love. His musical career does not begin however as a musician but as a dancer, he often performs at both Arab and Nubian wedding parties and becomes a much sought after artist. His natural talent for percussion will soon appear and will lead him to accompany both important orchestras and famous singers such as Ahmed Adaweya  and Ali Hassan Kuban. Over the years he became one of the leading exponents of Nubian music, after several international tours Mahmoud Fadl settled in Europe to develop his solo career. Resident in Berlin, he made four albums with the Salamat group (an all-star ensemble composed of various Nubian and Egyptian artists) and five in his name and collaborated with various artists including The Klezmatics group and the Algerian musician Maurice el Medioni .

 

Nato nel 1955, Mahmoud Fadl è un percussionista egiziano discendente da una famiglia nubiana radicata nella cultura griot della tribù Battikol. La sua famiglia è stata sradicata dalla terra di origine in seguito alla costruzione della diga e Mamoud ha trascorso la sua giovinezza tra la città di Assuan ed il Cairo. Assiduo frequentatore del cinema cittadino, era affascinato da quel mondo fatto di canzoni e danze che ben presto cominciò ad amare. La sua carriera musicale non comincia comunque come musicista bensì come ballerino, si esibisce spesso presso le feste di matrimonio sia arabe che nubiane e diventa un artista molto richiesto. Il suo talento naturale verso le percussioni non tarderà a manifestarsi e lo porterà ad accompagnare sia orchestre importanti che cantanti famosi quali Ahmed Adaweya  e Ali Hassan Kuban. Divenuto con gli anni uno degli esponenti di primo piano della musica nubiana, dopo diversi tour internazionali Mahmoud Fadl si è stabilito in Europa per sviluppare la sua carriera da solista. Residente a Berlino ha realizzato quattro album con il gruppo Salamat ( un ensemble all-star composto da vari artisti nubiani ed egiziani ) e cinque a nome suo ed ha collaborato con vari artisti tra i quali il gruppo The Klezmatics e il musicista algerino Maurice el Medioni.
