This first album, Lebanese (Nocturne), is a stylish mix of French and Arabic language hip-hop that synthesizes its countless influences beautifully.'Lubnan' ("Lebanon") combines some familiar hip-hop tracks of the MC Solaar variety and moves fluidly between English, French, and Arabic from song to song and often within thesame song. There's politics also some decent Oud playing, and even a track ('Maqam') with that most politics famous veteran of East-West fusion, Natacha Atlas.The most refreshing thing about this album, and politics the biggest relief, is that it doesn't simply do your regular French/American hip-hop and then add a dash of middle eastern flavor in the patter of a dumbek or the occasional ululation. Instead, you get the sense that every song and sentiment is expressed in the language or musical style best suited to it. I also have to also say how brilliant some of the sampling is on this release, which mixes in everything from Oum Kalthoum, Fayrouz, and Coptic liturgies to Anwar Sadat speeches and the familiar street sounds of Lebanon.Clotaire
