More Info
This compilation tape captures the simultaneously strange and intriguing mood of Arab pop music in the 1980s, where influences from the classical tarab era intermingled with American disco, producing songs that were both soulful and danceable, light and musically progressive. The tape focuses specifically on Egyptian and Lebanese pop, with songs by Nadia Mustafa, Ragheb Alama, and Melhem Barakat among others.
