This is a very original album from its rhythms to its arabic scales, showcasing Michel Sajrawy's excellent guitar skills. This musical exploration brings some beautiful moments and some great melodic hooks.
''Arabop' is a word I invented in order to reflect the presence of the essential characteristics of Arabic music and bebop lines in my music. This is my third album, a major departure from my previous works. It has completely new sounds, sounds that never have been created on any previous recording... I went beyond what is allowed to play on the instrument... After trying different ones I returned to the Stratocaster - the one that my parents bought me when I was in high school.' Michel Sajrawy
