Having released his new song, “Lilah”, Egyptian artist, composer, singer and percussionist Gamal El Bagoury appropriately asks you to use headphones while listening.

Accompanied here only by Mohamed A. Essa on oud and bassist Eslam Elkamary, with “Lilah” he created an inconspicuous yet powerful miniature that will show its depth and beauty the moment you start paying attention.

It starts and ends with a little “Lilah, lilah”, or “Night, night”, as if Gamal tried to suggest you turning off the lights might be a good idea as well.
