An American from Illinois USA, and a Sudanese Beja met up in Cairo and now make music together. Miguel Merino and Ahmed Said Abuamna want to record an album of original Beja-style songs.
Using the fundraising website kickstarter, they hope to raise $15,000 by December 8, 2011 for this project to go ahead.
Their promo page has some great pictures of Beja dress and musical instruments.
