Arab Groove

Arab groove is a vibrant and eclectic music genre that amalgamates traditional Middle Eastern and North African music with elements of funk, soul, jazz, and rock from Western influences. The genre is characterized by its rhythmic complexity, featuring infectious grooves, penetrating percussion, and a unique blend of conventional Arabic instruments such as the oud and qanun with modern ones, including electric guitars and keyboards. With a vintage allure, it captures the experimental spirit of artists from the 1960s to 1980s, who infused their cultural heritage with contemporary sounds, generating tracks that are at once nostalgic and avant-garde. Lyrically, these songs range from poetic and reflective to socially aware, reflecting the tumultuous era of their creation. Arab groove is a testament to the cross-pollination of musical traditions and the transcendent power of groove.
