"I have picked up culture from all of these places and I have made many tracks using these personal influences from the inclusion of instruments to the fusion of reggae with Arabic percussion."

Why we like her ??

Natacha Atlas is known for her fusion of Arabic and North African music. She once termed her music "cha'abi moderne" (i.e. an updated form of Egypt's pop music). It includes also many influences from styles like hip hop, drum and bass, reggae and so on.

Atlas is helping to define a new world music that relies equally on Techno tricks and indigenous folk forms. A lead singer for the TransGlobal Underground for years, Atlas struck out on her own in 1995 with the album Diaspora, and has cut several albums since. As her career grows, Atlas' lovely voice will no doubt mature, as will her wide-ranging stylistic interests.

Why is she famous ??

North African and Arabian music is given a modern, dance-inspiring, twist by Brussels-born and Washington, D.C.-based vocalist Natacha Atlas. A former singer for technopop band, Transglobal Underground, and an occassional collaborator of Jah Wobble, Atlas has continued to explore the fusion of her musical roots with western electronic, dance music. While "Option" magazine explained, "(Atlas) has a beautiful voice, which sounds curiously like a blend between traditional Middle Eastern singers and Elizabeth Fraser of the Cocteau Twins", "The Wire" wrote, "buoyed by her devotional calling and the chatter of programmed beats, she swoops, glides and goes reaching for the heavens in a way that needs no translation". "CMJ New Music" praised her for having "explored the far reaches of the ethnotechno spectrum".
