This is a vinyl LP pressing of Orkos by MAHA. Maha's "Orkos" immediately catches your ear as a unique album. A strong and energetic voice, equally grounded in jazz as well as Egyptian vocal traditions, Maha sings over instrumentals that offer a wide palette of influences, sonically emblematic of the cultural changes that were occurring in the country. 

The album features rich compositions and productions by renowned Egyptian musician Hany Shenoda, whose group, Al Massrieen, Habibi Funk worked in 2017 (the release led to sync placements in Hulu's "Ramy" TV Series). From the funk sounds of "Law Laffeina El Ard"; the moody, mellow sounds of "Kabl Ma Nessallem We Nemshy", or "We Mesheet;" to excursions into Latin sounds in the title track "Orkos," and disco with "Ana Gaya" (Album Focus Track, out October 10) the album is an amalgamation of genres that stands out from the immense creativity present in Egypt at the time.
