Kamalarabin - Arab Tapes Vol 1

Review by Carlos Vargas

Arab Tapes, the latest album by Kamalarabin, is a unique blend of traditional Arab music and modern electronic beats. The album features nine tracks, each of which takes the listener on a journey through different moods and emotions.

The album opens with "Al Basar," a hauntingly beautiful track that sets the tone for the rest of the album. The use of traditional Arab instruments, such as the oud and the qanun, is prominent throughout the album and adds to its authenticity.

Kamalarabin's use of electronic beats and synthesizers is also noteworthy. The tracks "Hala" and "Kan Yama Kan" are examples of how the fusion of traditional and modern music can create something truly unique and captivating.

The album's standout track is "Ya Rayah," which features the vocals of Rachid Taha. The song is a cover of an Algerian folk song and is a perfect example of how Kamalarabin has managed to put their own spin on traditional Arab music.

Summary by Carlos Vargas

Arab Tapes is an excellent album that is sure to appeal to fans of both traditional Arab music and modern electronic music. Kamalarabin has done an excellent job of blending these two genres to create something truly special.
