Mots d'amour

by Ahmed Fakroun

A pioneering figure in modern rai and Arabic crossover pop, the Libyan multi-instrumentalist recorded this remarkably infectious album in Paris. Blending traditional North African melodies with driving French synth-funk and new wave production, Fakroun creates a uniquely cosmopolitan, deeply romantic approach to 1980s dance music.
