    Entrancing fusions of middle eastern melodies and rhythms with cutting edge electronica and
    remixes

    Putumayo presents Sahara Lounge, a mesmerizing album of laid-back fusions of traditional
    Middle Eastern melodies, rhythms and instrumentation with cutting edge electronica, hip-hop
    beats and remixes. Algerian rai, Berber music, Sufi chants, and Egyptian al-jeel meet dub,
    trip hop, break beats and funk resulting in a hypnotic and captivating vibe.
    Sahara Lounge, which will be released on January 20th, 2004, is the latest in a caravan of
    successful Putumayo releases focusing on exciting new directions in world music, including
    World Lounge, Euro Lounge and Arabic Groove.

    Sahara Lounge includes 6 rare and previously unreleased tracks. The work of the innovative
    Lebanese electronica duo Soap Kills has been available almost exclusively on their
    self-produced, unreleased demo recordings. Ramin Sakurai’s collaboration with Iranian artist
    Shiraz has never before been widely released. Nabiha Yazbeck’s “Astahel” has never been
    available outside of the Middle East until now. The Jasmon and Mohammed Mounir track “Hanina
    (Jasmon Mix)” is hot off the presses in Germany. Bahia El Idrissi’s “Arhil” has been heard
    only by the lucky few who managed to get a hold of the his rare Dutch release. Sahara Lounge
    also features a previously unreleased remix of the Nickodemus and Carol C. favorite “Cleopatra
    in NewYork.”
