Hasaballa Brass Band

Hello, ladies and gentlemen of the Ethnic Clarinet!
I have just been listening to Frank London and Co's Brotherhood of Brass CD which features the Hasaballa Brass Band, and for me this latter group is the main point of interest in the whole recording. Apparently it is a small group that lives and works in Cairo, and their clarinettist, Abd Ehamid Kamel, plays a metal clarinet (so the "brass" in the title is quite OK).

I have googled away merrily for quite some time and not managed to find out anything much more about either the HBB or Mr Kamel - all the references are to the Frank London CD. So I was hoping that amongst the readers of this forum there might be somebody who could tell me more - and especially tell me whether there might be recordings by the Hasaballa Brass Band available and, if so, from what source.

Hopefully yours,
vintschevski
