Hossam Ramzy : 15 December 1953 – 10 September 2019on Photo: Supplied
Episode 158 features an homage to the Egyptian percussionist Hossam Ramzy who passed away on September 10 aged 65. Ramzy recorded over 30 albums, a long list of original film scores and collaborated with a who’s who of musicians including Peter Gabriel, Joan Armatrading, Jay Z, Ricky Martin, and in 1994 Robert Plant and Jimmy Page from Led Zeppelin invited Hossam to put together a band of Arabian musicians and work on their reunion album and tour, ‘No Quarter –Unledded’. The interview is with Bruce Aitken an award winning drummer and educator from Invercargill who currently lives in Sydney. From 2001-2010 Bruce owned and operated the Cape Breton International Drum Festival, inviting a veritable star studded line up of drumming heavyweights to attend and perform work-shops. It was there that Bruce became a close friend with Hossam Ramzy and he shares some of those memories with us.
