Editorial Reviews

The soundtrack to the popular London destination Kemia, the bar at Momo, a stylish North African restaurant, Arabesque delivers an up-to-the-minute slice of Oriental fantasy and contemporary electronics. Compiled by Momo's owner, Mourad Mazouz, with the solid sense of a good restaurant menu, the disc dresses up classics such as "Ya Rayah" with flair. That means hip-hop remixes of Arabic melodies (from master oudist Omar Faruk Tekbilek, for example) and Arabic remixes of hip-hop from Stereo M.C.s, among others. And as every high-profile boîte needs celebrities, North Africa's big ballers are here, too: Cheb Mami, Khaled, Rachid Taha, and Natacha Atlas lend their star power to an already seductive compilation. Folding in music from Maghreb (North Africa) to Machrek (the Middle East) and back to London via knob-spinners Tranquility Bass and Hefner, Arabesque makes the shuffle from banquette to bar an epic, mysterious journey.
