Mostly Rai (sort of Arabic rock) and al-jil (Egyptian party music), but with trans-global influences that range from flamenco to salsa, to funk, to blues. Hip-shaking, mostly uptempo tracks proving it really is a small world after all.
*1. Delicious Arab-Cuban fusion w/oud, horns, guitar. Dishy.
2. Slick Arabic pop groove w/fem vox, programming.
*3. Flamenco-esque guitar, male vox, upbeat al-jil jam.
4. Funky Euro-rai from Paris-based Faudel. Nicely done.
*5. Swinging Latin-infused dance w/piano/horns/perc/vox.
6. Sexy, midtempo fem vox w/strong Arabic beats. In French.
7. Mid/uptempo love song, male vox, coolly melodic.
8. Relaxed Arabic dance groove.
9. Funky rai w/horns/vox/strings/perc.
*10. Catchy midtempo sway w/help from Charles Aznavour.
11. Egyptian disco-infused dance. Um….well…whatever.
*12. Fun, lively dance groove that’s just way cool.
