Formed in 2012 by Parisian DJs Guido Minisky and Hervé Carvalho, their concept was to create a space for Arab culture in the world of contemporary electronic music. They laid down groundwork by releasing several EPs (the Collections series) on electronic music label Versatile, featuring collabs, remixes and tracks by other artists. For 'Musique de France', Acid Arab have worked with a number of guests. To paint a complete picture, they needed voices, and some instruments: keyboards played by Kenzi Bourras and stellar Syrian musician Rizan Said. There's vocals and saz playing by Istanbul's Cem Yildiz (who wrote the famous song Kime ne for his band Insanlar), and vocals by Yemenite sister trio A-WA (who gained plenty of international kudos with the very first song they released, Habibi Galbi, which got remixed by Acid Arab). And collaborations with Paris-based luminaries of Franco-Arabic music such as rocker Rachid Taha, raï fusion pioneer Sofiane Saidi, as well as gnawa musician\/singer Jawad El Garrouge. All these performances intimately mesh with the album's radically electronic structures and sounds, drawing from a palette of sub-genres (techno, acid house, disco, trap) while taking in unusual rhythms and colours.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e2LP - Double Vinyl with Download.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Crammed Discs","offers":[{"title":"LP | x2","offer_id":50435436380491,"sku":"1000501","price":27.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"CD","offer_id":50435436052811,"sku":"1000500","price":14.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/files\/c3cddefe-99a6-4690-bf82-94a150976bc5_thumbnail_4096.jpg?v=1726903486"},{"product_id":"trois","title":"Trois","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Franco-Algerian collective delivers ten new club bangers, eight vocalists from around the Mediterranean have joined forces with Acid Arab to create this masterful new album, which equally stimulates body and mind.
