Middle-Eastern acoustic music from the golden age of Arabic song
With a heritage that connects Egypt, Palestine, Morocco, Belgium and the UK, the unique singer Natacha Atlas represents a one-woman Migration. Indeed, she has described herself as “a human Gaza strip”. An international star for two decades, she is famed for her collaborations with Transglobal Underground, Nitin Sawhney, David Arnold and Jah Wobble. Tonight Natacha goes acoustic to present the music from her acclaimed album ‘Ana Hina’, a sensuous evocation of the Egyptian and Lebanese singers she first heard through her father’s record collection, and in which her incredible voice takes centre stage.
|
Now moving around from the clubland sound of Transglobal Underground, the queen of Arabian fusion is now forging a distinctly impressionistic style, emphasising the drama and passion rather than the beats. This new acoustic direction suits her awesome voice, the star attraction of tracks by Nitin Sawhney, David Arnold and Jean Michel Jarre.
