The Handover is an Egyptian/Belgian trio that plays hypnotic, trance-inducing music, inspired by the ritual rhythms of the Egyptian countryside. The trio masterfully combines the delicacy of classical Arabic music with the raw expressiveness of Egypt's rural and shaabi music, peppered with a good dose of psychedelic improvisation, kraut riffs and experimental sounds. The eponymous album on the American cult label Sublime Frequencies has been receiving raving reviews.Aly Eissa - Oud
