Arabic rock

Music genre of the Arab world From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Arabic rock describes a wide variety of forms of music made in the Arab world. Although no major Arabic rock bands existed before the year 2000, the alternative music scene boomed afterwards with the creation of popular bands.[1] While JadaL is best known to be the starters of the Arabic Rock and Arab indie music movement, being the first to officially adopt the Arabic Rock genre name in specific, many Arab musicians have adopted musical forms foreign to Arab culture, like rock music, and have attempted to arabize them.[2][3]
