Rainbow Arabia - Let Them Dance
music video

marry electro-acoustic dance sounds and world music with the youthful energy of punk using an array of Lebanese synthesizers and drum machines, serpentine guitar lines, live percussion, and Siouxsie-esque vocals that are at times war calls while beautifully spectral at others. In fall 2008, LA label, Manimal Vinyl (Bat For Lashes, Hecuba) released their EP the Basta, while UK label Merok (Crystal Castles, The Teenagers, and Klaxons) released a 7" from the EP. The new Mini LP, "Kabukimono" was just released in July 2009 on Manimal Vinyl. In their brief existence, the two have toured the US with Gang Gang Dance and toured throughout Europe mesmerizing crowds with their psychedelic, tribal live show.

  • @xxxjjay13 If you'd watched the video more carfully you'd see this isn't about supporting a bad view on Arabs! It's more 'bout expressing love and peace through music. Grenades with pigeon feathers being filled with colour, painted bullets... Just stop looking for racial prejudices in every corner. Some are just making music for EVERYBODY'S enjoyment! PEACE!

  • I wanna play guitar in the desert
