Aleppo is regarded as one of the historical centres of an urban
Arab art music tradition known as 'tarab'. During the war that
followed Syria's 2011 political uprisings, vast parts of the city
were destroyed. This Element explores how 'tarab' lives on in new
contexts. It does so through a focus on the work of Hello
Psychaleppo, one of Aleppo's displaced musicians and the pioneer of
'electro-tarab', an eclectic style of urban electronic dance music
that is conceived as a homage to Aleppo's musical legacy. Whether
local religious chants, Palestinian poetry, or the image of a
yellow man, electro-tarab includes an inventory of audio, visual
and literary samples. These samples help conceptualise the role
music has played during the Syrian war; they offer insights into
Aleppo's musical and diasporic afterlife; and they illuminate some
of the socio-aesthetic parameters that characterise contemporary
Arab electronic music.
