Parallel Universe - Volume 1

Description

Parallel Universe - Volume 1 is the new collaboration between Natacha Atlas and Samy Bishai - a bold reinvention of the musical meeting point between East and West.While some textures evoke a retro-futuristic imagination, the soul of the record is resolutely anchored in the present - a bold and current vision of Arabic pop, filtered through experimental sound writing.Raised between Brussels and England, Natacha Atlas made a name for herself in the 1990s by collaborating with Transglobal Underground before establishing herself as an international artist recognized for her unique voice.She stands out for her ability to fuse Eastern and Western traditions, blending Arabic singing, jazz, and contemporary music.With a rich career (fifteen albums and numerous collaborations with artists such as Peter Gabriel or Jean-Michel Jarre), she has received several distinctions, including a Victoire de la Musique in 1999.
