More Info
This album by singer Shadi Al Ameer faithfully captures the sound of 1990s Syria. While its heavily electronic — even futuristic — arrangements stand out, the vocal style remains rooted in traditional shaabi performance, from a time before singers had fully adapted their aesthetics to the keyboard. The result is a sonic whirlwind in which the futuristic and the traditional circle around each other without ever fully merging.
