Sanders, Pharaoh
Village Of The Pharoahs
'Village Of The Pharoahs' is the eighth album by American saxophonist and composer Pharoah Sanders, released in 1973. The key word, and concept, informing this album is percussion: of the 13 musicians appearing on 'Village Of The Pharoahs,' seven of them are credited with contributing drums or percussion... and there is a conga player. The centerpiece of 'Village Of The Pharoahs' is the three-part title suite, which stretches over 16 minutes. This is the work of a confident explorer willing to go anywhere and do anything.
