Yasmine: The Modern Face Of Arabic Music
Raised in devastated Beirut, electro popster Yasmine Hamdan has become the modern face of Arabic music. Over the course of five albums, she has established a distinctive sound focused around her deliciously smoky voice, mingling old Arabic song with her own compositions, and embracing unexpected musical experimentation – notably working with producers Marc Collin and Mirwaïs (who also produced several Madonna albums) as well as US duo Coco Rosie. More recently, she has contributed a song to Jim Jarmusch’s latest film, “Only Lovers Left Alive,” in which she will also appear.
