Mahmoud Fadl, the Nubian Master Drummer from the Nile, was born in 1955. He is a descent of a Nubian family that is rooted in the Griot culture of the "Battikol" people.



He was raised in the Egyptian cities of Assuan and in Cairo and started his musical career as a limbo dancer and musician for Nubian and Arabic wedding celebrations.



His outstanding talent for percussion soon made him a much sought after musician for top Arabic orchestras and singers like Ahmed Adawia or Nubian soul legend Ali Hassan Kuban.
