Riyadh, Saudi Arabia – Red Sea Global (RSG), the developer behind The Red Sea and Amaala, the Saudi tourism destinations, announced the release of its first ‘Red Sea Waves’ album, produced by its own Red Sea Studios.
The creative team at Red Sea Studios – led by Adham Alzanbagi in his role as Senior Manager, Content Production – supervised the production of this unique album. It is the result of the collaboration between Saudi, Egyptian, Sudanese, Somali, and other artists and musicians.
The album captures the essence of cultures and civilizations along the Red Sea coast, Saudi Press Agency reported.
“Our Red Sea Studios team has delivered an exceptional musical experience stemming from our responsibility to provide an authentic and enriching guest experience at The Red Sea, through the promotion of cultural and artistic initiatives,” explained Eng. Ahmed Darwish, the group chief administrative officer at Red Sea Global. “Furthermore, releasing this album is a first step towards achieving our objective to establish a creative center in The Red Sea to serve as a hub for pooling local and international talents in various aspects of art and culture.”
Darwish added: “The Red Sea has always been an area of interest and a continuous source of inspiration for numerous artists at both regional and global levels. It embodies a rich scene of cultural heritage and a long history of arts. It’s no wonder that its bordering countries enjoy a unique musical legacy, blending cultures and civilizations along its coasts.”
The album features 12 tracks, each of which is characterized by a different genre and origin. The first track of the album stems from Yanbawi music, whereas later tracks are rooted in several musical cultures.
