This artist her own musical world: Tarapop – AZIZA

SHOW LESSA² The Show – Ep 310 Feat. Aziza  Aziza is a Lebanese singer and song writer whose musical world combines classical Arabic Tarab rules of composition, with Pop music. This puts her in a stylistic category of her own, labeled: Tarapop.    Birthed in Beirut during the lebanese war, she was raised to the tunes of Warda, Fairouz, Oum Kolthoum , Sabah , Dalida and others . Her father was a singer in the 70’s and 80’s. Tarapop is a mix of sounds inspired from the region, such as Chaabi Egyptian, Lebanese and literary Arabic. This fusion is what leads to a musical version proper to Beirut today: an eclectic, electric, story-driven palette of styles.    In that sense, Aziza’s original music tells the story of the age she lives in, and the constant necessity of grounding herself in a turmoiled environment. Tarapop is classical vocals, rhythms and arrangement (ground) interpreted live with a backing pop rock band, taking the sounds of the quarter notes to new dynamics.    Aziza’s self titled all originals debut album was released in 2014.  Ya Salat El Zein a classical egyptian cover song was revisited by Aziza and Michel Fadel in 2016 . 3alamna Wahed “Our World is One” a song written by Aziza for the World Cup 2018 with a message that reunites the arabic world with all its differences , produced and available on Anghami.  Get the A2 limited (5 remaining shirts) at https://teespring.com/a2theshirtFollow the podcast hosts on social media: @a2theshow  Hosts Ali Haejl @scoobz.mp4 alihaejl.com Ali Al Shammari @freshprinceofmishref  Social Media Management @crooked.pearl & @nad16er — Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/a2theshow/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/a2theshow/support
