Franco-Arabic

Slimane Beiji (Habib Boufares) is the divorced head of a Franco-Arabic family.

Another mix of cultures in Arabic music of the late 1990s came through Franco-Arabic music released by musicians such as Aldo.

At the age of six he began his bilingual education at the Franco-Arabic school that was part of the famous Collège Sadiki.

Another example of fusion music can be heard in the Middle Eastern-influenced Franco-Arabic music as personified by Aldo.

Franco-Arabic music is a popular form of West-meets-East style of music, similar in many respects to modern Arabic Pop.

Franco-Arabic music uses a blend of Arabic and many western styles, from rock to pop, and from Euro styles to folk music.

Some of them continue their religious studies at informal Arabic schools (majlis) or at the growing number of private Arabic schools and publicly funded Franco-Arabic schools.

In a style reminiscent of the Aldo (musician) Franco-Arabic style, the song was remixed by several top European arrangers and has become a big pull on the dance floors of Europe.

Although Franco-Arabic music includes many forms of cross-cultural blending between the West and the Middle East, musically the genre crosses over many lines as is seen in songs that incorporate Arabic and Italian, Arabic and French and, of course, Arabic and English styles or lyrics.
