Disco Arabesquo – Sharayet El Disco

A selection of Arabic Disco from Egyptian 80’s cassettes.

The selection entails Arabic Disco and Boogie tracks selected from my cassette collection. Most tracks have never been released on any other format and are making their vinyl debut with this set. A journey through the funky sound of 80s Egypt, Sharayet El Disco (which can be translated by “Disco Cassettes”) features Simone, Ammar El Sherei and more obscure names from Cairo‘s cassette culture. The audio has been remastered for vinyl by David Hachour at Colorsound Studio in Paris and features the ‘Sharayet el disco’ Arabic calligraphy by Zaid Sbeitan and artwork by graphic designer Heba Tarek.
