The Bedouin Jerry Can Band is a collective of semi-nomadic musicians, storytellers and coffee grinders from the Egyptian Sinai desert. Blending Simsimiyya (traditional 5 string Egyptian lyre) with desert flutes and reed pipes, they perform infectious Bedouin rhythms on junk percussion including ammunition boxes and Jerry Cans, scavenged from the former battlegrounds of conflicts fought across their homelands during the Six-day War of 1967 and the subsequent Israeli occupation of Sinai.
The group’s songs and poetry recount the exploits of ancient Arabian tribes though fables of trusty camels, warnings of the dastardly deeds of sheep rustlers, and tales of unrequited love for the girl in the next settlement with beautiful eyes.
