Three languages, three instruments, three artists. One unified musical identity. NES can't be tied down to a specific location. Their music is between traditional Arabic and world music, jazz and pop. "Ahlam" means "dream" in Arabic. The long-held wish of the three NES musicians was to make an internationally released album - a dream which has now quite literally come true.
