"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.
