Mohamed El Sayed
Choreographer and dancer
Percussionist, dancer and master of Middle Eastern dance, El Sayed was born in Cairo, and since he was just a boy he formed part of the children’s youth dance and music group at his school in the Egyptian capital.
In 1995, he began his official education at the Pyramids Dance Studio with great master Shokry Mohamed, who would set him on his path in a Middle Eastern dance and music career.
He continued his Sufi learnings at the Tannura School in the Sultan el Guri Mosque, with the great master Bondok el Asmar, one of the most important and prestigious Sufi masters.
As a musician, he has had four albums published: “Aprende los Ritmos Árabes” (“Learn Arab Rhythms”) Darbukka I and Darbukka II, the music CD “Aeini A-leek” and “Latidos del Nilo” (“Heartbeats of the Nile”).

Wafir S. Gibril
Guest performer
Born in Kurdufan (Sudan), Gibril studied at the higher conservatory of Khartoum and took his earliest steps in the profession playing the accordion in the groups of Abdul Aziz Almubarak, Mohammad Al Amin and Abdul Karm Al Kably.
Wafir is a lively, restless musician. He is mainly a master of the accordion and Arabic oud, though he also plays the Sudanese bongos –with three drums instead of the regular two–, the saz, viola, rabab, bendir, tambourine, metal castanets (karakeb) and many other percussion instruments.
His latest work, “Nilo Azul” (“Blue Nile”), is a thorough portrait of Wafir S. Gibril’s rich personality. Mariem Hassan, Nayim Alal, Iain Ballamy, Josete Ordoñez, Pedro Esparza, Vicente Molino, Ivo y Nasco Hristov, Sebatián Rubio, Salah Sabbagh and many others have already contributed their grain of sand to this work.
