Disco Arabesquo

In the 70's, 80's and 90's Arabic countries had a very interesting mash-up of cultures. The Middle-East and North Africa were influenced by different spheres through politics, religion and ideologies. The music of that time was also caught up in these intersections. Artists created new traditional Arabic music and combined it with funky Western influences. Disco Arabesquo portrays this 'splash of civilizations' by selecting unique songs that showcase this creative cultural contamination and a generation searching for a new identity.
