An unidentified Egyptian mix tape, circa 1989

In 1989, Mom was President of The 99s, an international organization of women pilots, and she introduced me to an Egyptian pilot who handed me this mix tape. It includes 14 cuts of Middle Eastern pop music. I can’t read the J-card and I don’t know what I’m listening to. If you can help, please post a comment!

If you are the artist and are planning a reissue, please let me know and I’ll remove it from the blog. Also please get in touch if you’ve lost your art &/or sound masters and would like to talk with me about my restoration work.
