I think this song is underrated. It introduces the twist that Aida is a princess and paints a nostalgic picture of the former glory of the Nubians. I also love the sense of dread it invokes, telling the audience how dangerous it would be if Aida was found out as the Nubian princess.
Brilliant. I am an 85 year old Musical Theater Fan, amatuer Set Painter, and Grip. This is my all time favorite Musical. Thanks for this video, making it possible for me to share it with my friends and family. It is Musical Art that is too good to miss. As cavemen, danced, so we evolved from beating drums and dancing to this level, of entertainment. And, still getting more Brilliant.
