Subject: Oriental/Middle Eastern/Arabian influenced music?
Date Posted: January 30 2013 at 20:42
I don't know which is the correct name for this (these) marvelous type(s) of ethnic music I'm looking for...

Anyway, I have been recently developing an unusual love for this beautiful ethnic/folk music (Oriental, Middle-Eastern, Arabian, name them the way you most prefer), and my problem is that I want more and more of it, and I don't know where to search, and that's basically why I started this thread in the first place.

So, I'm open to any kind of suggestion of music bearing influences from Northern Africa, the Middle East, Turkey, the Arabian peninsula and so on... Everything is welcome! From acoustic folk to jazz to extreme metal to whatever you can think of and beyond...

Rock music with ethnic scales and stuff? Super welcome! Stuff with typical instruments and percussion? I'd be glad to hear about it! Don't be shy and please write anything you know in this vein!

My favourite examples of this/Inb4: Orphaned Land, Myrath, Laco Tayfa, Sand Aura, Bustan Abraham:

Amaseffer is a good Israeli progressive metal band, that definitely incorporate influences from ethnic Israeli music in their work.

Also, The Bedlam in Goliath by The Mars Volta is chock-full of middle-eastern influences (unsurprising given that the entire album is a metaphor about the way women are treated in Islamic culture).

You need to hear "Nafas" by Rabih Abou-Khalil, it's a beautiful album of arabic music with sparse instrumentation. "Tarab" is another great album by him, but his other stuff is more Jazz influenced.

Less "authentic", but you may also like Trial of the Bow, an ethnic/ambient side-project of Australian Doom/Death band Disembowelment. Great stuff.

First of all as you already know Led Zeppelin always had a thing for arabic music, Kashmir would be an obvious example. In 1994 they released 'No Quarter' which is a compilation of their songs (and a bunch of other tunes) done in an ethnic/arabic versions, excellent album, if you're a fan of the band you can't go wrong with this one for sure, although chances that you already know this one. But if not then here is Kashmir's version http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OCD_ruVaFOQ" rel="nofollow - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OCD_ruVaFOQ

Amaseffer mentioned before is another good example, and I'm happy you've discovered Bustan Abraham.

Another band you shoulf definitely check are Paranoise. They are mixing arabic/eastern melodies and instruments with almost metal like riffing, I'll post some videos later to let you know what they're all about, and I'll think of more stuff.

I saw them live once. They were great.

The latest OM album is quite Middle-Eastern influenced and extremely wonderful.

Thank you all for your suggestions! I'm making myself a playlist with them to check them asap.

@Sagichim: Bustan Abraham are amazing! They aren't active nowadays, are they? BA created the most mind-blowing music I listened to in a very long time. Do you know any group that sounds even vaguely like these guys?

@Zappaholic: I currently own the Book Of Angels Vol. 9, it's terrific! Do you recommend any other specific album by SC3?

Well...there are several israeli artists incorporating those elements inside their music but none of them are exactly similar as Bustan, so I wouldn't really recommend them.
Anyway here are those Paranoise videos I mentioned before.

Another thing you might like is Erkin Koray listed here under psychedelic. He also has that arabic vibe.

I would say Second Grand Constitution And Bylaws: Hurqalya is the first one where it all started to come together, and Book M is a must-hear.

@Lucas: Wow, awesome list! That will give me something to entertain myself with for a long time Big smile. The only ones I've heard from there are Zakir Hussain, Congreso, Farmers Market (actually I suggested them into PA) and Sharkiat vs Maniacs.

@Zappaholic: Thanks again!

For the record, if anyone else is looking for oriental/oriental-influenced music, you should also check The Tea Party's Splendor Solis, I listened to it recently and was an amazing experince.

Yeah, I really like it too, but adding "Indian" to the topic's title would have been too much Tongue

Making Music is an incredible album, practically nothing can go wrong with such a lineup.

This is an old thread, but in case you get notifications of updates, some fantastic bands:

Radio Tarifa - A successful recipe of medieval, arabic, andalusian and more influences in something sounding old yet very novel
  Nu Arest - 

Orange Blossom - French arabic, violin & electronic yet with a true rock spirit. Great live!
  Habibi - 
  Maldito - 


I'll be sampling the various recommendations

Myrath is a Tunisian progressive metal band. Here's an example of what they sound like. Smile

One of my absolute faves Raff.
I just bought this one when I was in Rome:
(and yes I totally forgot to mail you beforehand, but due to school and some other things I got distracted and completely forgot about you. It was a most wonderful trip though... although next time I would prefer to walk the streets of the city without my babysister under my arm. So many beautiful women in Rome, and there I was looking like I was strolling along with my girlfriend, ouchDead oh well the next time...)

I'm definitely coming back for more though, rain or not.

Ethiopian music that is called Ethio-jazz, although I don´t know is it the best term to it, has arabic influences. Mulatu Astatke is one of the greatest, here´s one of his most famous piece, also in Broken Flowers-movie:

I really love also Mahmoud Ahmed & Alemayehu Eshete, specially their sixties-seventies stuff. And Gigi is really great new female Ethiopian artist. Gilmour played guitar in her album:

I'm enjoying these threads, but if I could make one request it would be for everyone to post the artist and song, because YouTube takes down these videos, and now there's no way I can see what was posted.

A most excellent request and thing for people to consider, I think.  I've experienced the same when looking back through old threads and some that are not so old both here and in looking at Reddit threads from my google searches (I don't post there but have found it to be an excellent resource when it comes to many things).

I really love also Mahmoud Ahmed & Alemayehu Eshete, specially their sixties-seventies stuff. And Gigi is really great new female Ethiopian artist. Gilmour played guitar in her album:

There are three guitarists listed (and of course, they had to misspell "Gilmore").. Do you know which songs David plays on?

Is there any from the 70s? I know it's more prevalent now, but I like comparing, and when I know something is rare, I want to find it... And if I like it, promote it.
