The Belly and the Beat CD by Turbo Tabla offers the rich and evocative beauty of traditional World Dance Music and Middle Eastern Arab music, recontextualized into the techno, house, hip hop and Asian massive genres.
The Belly and the Beat CD by Turbo Tabla includes 14 new recordings. Authentic instruments are used, performed by top instrumentalists and performers.
The songs utilize heavy and tight dance grooves, bass lines and soundscapes. The result is a ‘Turbo Tradition’ where the classic sounds of the East are bolstered for the dance floor.
Several sonic and musical themes are conveyed on Belly and theBeat. The opening track Turbo Tabla 4 is 4th in series of drum anthems with a heavy hip-hop beat. There are two other pure drum solos compositions: Stonecutter, a multi percussion feast with a techno pulse, and Banaat Turbo, a more traditional yet creative acoustic solo with very lyrical rhythms. Two songs, Tahteeb Diesel and Saidi Song, have a distinct Southern Egyptian 'Saidi' sound complete with Rabbaba (spike fiddle), Nay (bamboo flute) and Mizmar (Egyptian oboe).
There are three vocal songs including the Arabo-Andalusian house mix Imlal Ilaqdah, the Mawal and Jungle excursion Ashoof Jamal, and the powerful and slamming R&B future classic IRROUH. Samai Aryan is a reconstructed hard-hitting version of the most famous Classical Arab instrumental composition to date. Zaarathustra and Naseeb are dark and frantic tribal songs. And a new direction is forged with Asian Massive-inspired Indi-Arab and Multiple East, where Karim's facination with Indian music is explored.
