Arab Music and Changes in the Arab Media
Arab Music and Changes in the Arab Media
Enormous changes have taken place in the field of Arab music due to the phenomenal developments brought about by satellite channels and new modes of recording and telecommunications media. In the past, state radio and television were responsible for most musical production in Egypt, and remained so until the end of the 1970s. Transformations to song production resulted from changes in studio technology. With such technology, the relation between the singer and the band started to be severed, because each performer recorded his or her part separately, synchronized by a “click track.” Furthermore, the new visual interpretation of Arab songs contains many undesirable and dubious elements and there is an ongoing struggle regarding nudity and lewd dancing in most Arab video clips.
