dance, music, body wisdom from egypt

Mustafa Sax 

Mustafa Sax graduated from university in Cairo with a degree in music. He was one of the finest saxophone players around. Living and working in Cairo and Europe, he was internationally known. He died far too early in 2007, but his passionate music, which was so much rooted in the Egyptian baladi tradition, will continue to live in the soul of everybody who remembers his playing and with all who listen to his recordings.

Mustafa Sax’s last recordings were made by tanz raum.


Mustafa Sax is featured in the CD Saltana and another CD which has not yet been released – also a tanz raum production.
