An innovative anthology of recorded music from the Arab world, featuring one hundred artists and twenty countries.
Can we speak of a single Arabic music? How can we geographically and stylistically circumscribe such a vast musical genre? The aim of this anthology is to show that there is more than one Arabic music, while revealing the musical unity that brings together some twenty countries with different languages, cultures, and developments. What do Rachid Taha, Oum Kalsoum, and Omar Souleyman have in common? What do Kurdish, Lebanese, or Kabyle artists have in common, or the popular, classical, or religious music of these regions? Through around a hundred recordings, which will take the reader from traditional music to its pop reinterpretations, a rich musical map emerges, conducive to a unique sound journey.
