As their name indicates, it is the Nile River that unites them Although musicians from neighboring regions might collaborate with each other, it is a distinct sign of modern thinking that a group from this widespread a geographic region, with such different musical traditions, would come together to make music for new purposes. An extraordinary musical group called the Nile Project formed several years ago, bringing together musical artists from most of the eleven countries touched by the river (Burundi, Rwanda, Democratic Republic of the Congo, Tanzania, Kenya, Uganda, South Sudan, Sudan, Ethiopia, Eritrea, and Egypt) and acknowledging their shared reliance on the river and raising awareness for the environmental sustainability of the Nile. The Nile feeds the delta just north of Cairo and moves into the Mediterranean Sea at Alexandria (in Egypt). The Nile River is the longest river in the world, flowing northward from its two tributaries: the White Nile, originating in a number of rivers that feed into Lake Victoria Nyanza in Uganda and the Blue Nile, originating at Lake Tana in Ethiopia.
