Ahlam: Revolt Against Reason



The experimental side of Algerian Rai, part funk, part hip-hop, and sort of psychedelic to boot. This is one of the earlier recordings of genre-crunching musical explorations on the Barbarity label. Revolt Against Reason is a world fusion with elements of reggae, dub, techno, Rai, and hip-hop as well as drums, string instruments, electric guitar and melodic sing-alongs.
