Reda Darwish

Reda Darwish, a native of Cairo, has been playing various percussion instruments since childhood. In fact he was featured weekly on Egyptian television at the age of eight. Bongos and congas were among his early interests.

Soon Reda was playing for Egypt's most famous dancers and singers including Fayza Ahmed, Nagat Iisaghira and Samira Said. Reda was in demand at recording studios and later touring with Hani Mahanna's orchestra. They eventually toured the United States where Reda has now made his new home.

In constant demand for performances, Reda has also recorded his own compositions. He was commissioned to compose the sound track for the Readers Digest's Wonders "Sacred and Mysterious" series covering Egypt and Turkey.
