Arabic Rock Music Playlist

Arabic Rock Playlist

 

 Even though not many in the international population are aware of it, there's a growing community of underground bands in the middle east playing a distinct hybrid of rock with Arabic lyrics. Not all attempts are good, but some are truly brilliant and worthy of more exposure than the local media companies provide. Here are some of the best...

 

Tinariwen - Cler Achel

The rebel Bedouin boys make it sound like there should be guitars growing in the desert; blissful grooves and hypnotic chants.

 

 

 

Akher Zapheer - Ta7t el ba7r el mayet

Jordanian band boast their hard-hitting original lyrics on this moody rock piece.

 

CairoKee - Kol El Nas

Brilliant single from our very own CairoKee, where the magnificence of the lyrics is perfectly met with the fun groove and a spine-tingling riff.

 

 

Byte 1010 - West El Zeham

Local group shows a lot of promise on this great fusion track that's unique in that it uses a darker, mellower rock sound featuring a female vocal that adds a cool touch.

 

 

Saif Shaheen - Marat Sana

A brilliant track with some especially elevating guitar moments from the legendary Iraqi musician\poet\director.

 

 

Jadal - Salma

Jordanian pioneers introduce an excellent rattling riff that pulls you into the alternate take on a love song; fun and very much ready for radio.  

 

Nagham Masry - Istanbul

One of our own guitar virtuoso Ousso's musical projects, Nagham Masry, performs a mind blowing rendition that features an especially awesome solo by the man himself! 

 

Souad Massi - Bladi

The music doesn't get much cooler than this and the fusion can never manage to strike such a perfect balance as Algerian Souad Massi simply does.

YOU CANT SAY ARABIC ROCK WITH OUT SAYING "KHALAS"...go to myspace.com/khalasband

and tell if there any band that is better...
dear A.HAMDAN just for you information KHALAS is the first band that played a true arabic rock not just putting arabic lyrics to rock music...they did it in 1998 with "el malek arian" and "enta omri". and as a good friend of jadal i can asure you that jadal didn't exist back then.
samah
definitely Khalas is missing here. it is a shame that they are not on this list, they are THE arabc rock band...

ana 3arfe..
