Product Description

Album Description

Arabesque has become one of the huge success stories of the
world music scene, thanks to artists mixing western technologies and bass
lines with traditional Arab music creating a sound that is fresh and
pleasing to the ear. The artists on this Rough Guide are from cities such
as Marrakech, London, Montpelier, New York, Paris, Beirut and Berlin,
giving a global impression of the Arabesque phenomenon. France's healthy
appetite for Hip-Hop is represented on this release by an up-and-coming
French/Arabic group - Mafia Maghrebine, a crew from the Paris suburbs who
have a lot to say and very little to lose. Featured artists also include
Oojami, Momo, U-Cef, Gnawa Impulse and many others.

5.0 out of 5 stars Arabic hip hop with attitude, 7 Nov 2003
By A Customer
Quite simply this album is awesome. It's a compilation of tracks by European and American based Arabic origin artists with singing and rapping mostly in French. The combination of authentic Arabic sounds and modern dance/hip hop/rap creates a truelly outstanding and uplifting journey, transporting the listener into an image of a hectic desert expedition.
There's a sense of revolution and resistence through many of the tracks. There's a sense of struggle to preserve the arabic culture in foreign lands, and yet there is also a sense of compromise in adopting popular contemporary musical genres. This is one of the best albums in my CD rack.
